Faded

Fading fast,
a lost past
Crumbled stone,
falls alone
Once all told,
stories fold
Pages turned,
words are burned
Out of mind,
gone from time

I took this shot from across the street and through rush hour traffic. As the modern world encroaches and buries the old, I can’t help but wonder how much we lose by forgetting the past.
