Standing in the Shadow

I stood in the shadow

of yesterday's tree.

Staring ...

across the river

slowly dying,

to

the barren hills

beneath a clear sky.

Beauty ..

in a land

gone to waste

through generations

of neglect, pollutions

gone unchecked...

And as I stood there

I wondered...

years from now,

What will be left?

1. Write your own six word memoir.
2. Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you’d like.
3. Link to the person that tagged you in your post.
4. Tag more blogs with links.
5. Enjoy
Also, I would add, I think you're supposed to alert the people you tag that they, too, are so lucky. ;-) Not sure how many, let's just see . . . how 'bout . . .
