After so long away
it all
felt
forsaken.
.
The trees had decayed
they would
not
reawaken.
.
There was brush underfoot
but it scraped
at
her
skin.
.
There was light overhead
but beneath
it
was
dim.
.
She remembered the sounds
of those loved
long
ago.
.
They were echoes now
lonely memories
in
tow.
.
It was saddening to see
their last marks
on
the
ground.
.
They were no longer here
not a soul
not
a
sound.
.
It had grown very old
in the years
that
had
passed.
.
But then, so had she --
and gave in
at
long
last.
.
As she laid on the ground
in the place
all
her
own.
.
Her last thoughts were their voices;
she had found
her
way
home.
