The Past in the Present
May 26, 2009
Bright, vivid, rolling green grass
Stretched across miles and miles of fields.
Glittered with sparkling droplets of dew
Capturing the morning sunlight like a camera capturing a memory.
Old, wooden, picket fences
They once kept the cows in the pasture;
Now they are useless
Prickling the countryside like paint dripping off a painting.
Dull, stone, towering ancient castles
The royalty is long gone
Yet the presence of a king remains
Like an archaic artifact uncovered from the dirt
