bygone eras
January 19, 2022
A husk among the trees
A fallen god
The rusted hunk of steel stands solemnly
Its wheels not halted
The world moved on
From the era of steam and steal
To the now
A now soon to be forgotten
A now soon to be rusting
Another rusting hull within the trees
Nature takes back what we took
All we may do is wait for it to the same to us
Soon another
Another will stand in my place and write about our steal now corroded

This poem is about the movement of time. The past takes the form of a steam locomotive. You see through the eyes of a watcher. Finding this once great thing is now being taken back. A death if you want to see it like that. But the spirit will remain within the forest and more will be added from the present.
