Old thoughts wither in decay.

Don't know where this was going???

Old thoughts wither in decay.

As the willow falls,

flowing in its droop,

so does autumn shed

all kinds of hope;

depression lies

hidden, composting

as the cemetery

gates open,

hinging on death.

Cold wind blowing,

birds fly south;

leaving the self

behind in decline,

by the fire, waiting.....

for old thoughts

to wither in decay,

while the carpenter works on the casket.

- 'wither in decay' is an awesome visual trigger.
is there any realm you cannot do Andrew (please tell me which so I can concentrate on that because I am not keeping up with your mind!)

a work colleague i met when i first started work, both in our teens, died of motor neuron disease, a slow terrible disease Monday, his wife died of breast cancer a year ago.What Life deals out, hence I suppose the withered thoughts.
