Nature Prevails
how much longer will it stand
above the forest and beneath the sky
rough-hewn castle long abandoned
windows broken like dreams of the past
doorways shattered along the way
walls tumbled and fallen
yet in the quiet whispering of time
vines climb along hidden scaffolding
folding structures back into nature itself
erasing the imprint of knowledge
losing the touch of humanity
until what remains is truly wild again
