Short-lived

Posted on April 27th, 2004 in All, Poems

The land has been swept
by winter and summer.
It’s tough and faded.
It’ll outlast any human era.

I once passed an old graveyard,
and saw the eroding tombstones.
Each individual had dreams,
a pumping heart,
and a smile.

The land
will outlive the foolishness
of lonely humans.
