The Abandoned Cynic

Get off my field--you may not roam

do not come knocking, i am not home



No tenderness for the passerby

and no loveliness for the careless eye

OH! i once had a splendour that was all my own

it lies hidden now beneath brittle bone



There is a far off laughter almost heard

where the dust, you can almost taste, has stirred


And soon i'll return to the earth's soft yield

my secrets ever buried in this hell-lonely field

  7. Poignant and beautiful. To us, there is something life affirming about the way nature reclaims the derelict and covers it with new life.
