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

Even the abandoned must succumb to nature, in time. Well done. Have a nice day.
You’re always welcome early or late to Poefusion so don’t worry about commenting late.
This is so touching Pam.
I have a real affinity for old abandoned buildings and houses. I often wonder who lived there, why they were left to decay…so sad. It’s great when a restoration happens, especially when it has appeared that all the grandeur and beauty had been lost forever.
