Oasis




Herein lived the past , and now the future
Over the years people showed up, left things:

a comment -  observations that stayed,
paintings, photographs, poems, snapshots of life somewhere somewhen
a card game, a tune or two, or a thought (mostly thoughts),  flowers, dusty books,
 and apparently seeds to future life

Some lives ended too soon, life too much a burden --- maybe next time.
and there were secrets  . . . .  there are always secrets

pretty soon people stopped coming
they were already there in spirit and memory

shifting time  ~~~

the place became silent as a spring and life passed on to another form --
maybe where the past is kept somehow preserved  (how revealed I don't know)

  4. That ruin is amazing with the trees growing through it. It looks a pretty tiny cottage in the first place.

  6. There is so much mystery in the simplest of things, so much grandeur in nature.
    Our hearts can be overwhelmed by nature's beauty.

    Thank you for sharing.
    And thank you for the visit and kind words.
    I wish you well, always !

  11. So love the look of your blog, from colors to font. Really have much to ponder on your words. I see so much of life on the internet in your words. From thoughts to photos and more. Friends have even passed on here and other just disappeared to who knows where. Wonderful just the same...
