ABANDONED CITY


ABANDONED CITY

 

The ancient city of Laru has been quiet for a million years,

not a soul has been here to witness its decay.

What was once a grand palace has crumbled to the ground.

The sun and moon have risen and set so many times casting

their beautiful light on this dust-covered place.

Along cracked walkways sand piles up as time takes its toll,

every year adding to the decay, taking a bit more of Laru’s

beauty away.

In the old market square a small forest has slowly grown

returning to nature what has always been hers. Now the only

life to go there are creatures of the forest.

Maybe one day if man returns he will make the ancient city

great once more.
