Leave it as you found it

Leave it as you found it

 

 

film the old, cobwebbed pond

a few bugs cruise the surface

but life is dead underneath

no movement

no swirls

no world

 

stop the music

nature is swimming in its own death

I think I saw one live tree

leaning over the pond

a weeping willow

its tears dried up
