Wandering

There are blackberries up here

Orange flashes of buckthorn

Sun splashing through the sky

On a coastline, all rock

Layers of history

Squeezed tight, by time

Danger sitting atop

Hiding in undergrowth

Around broken buildings

Built against old enemies

Not ready, for the new

And at the edge of the earth

No signs, but the tales

That tell of darkened hearts

Who lost themselves

In the long nights

That time has taken

And it will have us too

We must keep watch

On the crows

Circling overhead

Cawing, an age old warning

To those of us

Who wander
