the old grist mill

Rengay done by two people, contest winner on another site

the old grist mill stands

nestled in the rocky bank

red fall leaves surreal

 

vibrant blue sky glows stronger

shadowing my dim life's light

 

red stained swift water

rushes onward to the sea..

slow decaying mill

 

vibrant life vacant

emotions rush, rapids flow

heart and zest soggy

 

the once spinning wheel silent

red birds watch an era leave

 

rocks wear smoothly slick

as time ticks a new way starts

cycling ways and days
