Laughter

echoing
beneath the ancient boughs of the past,
A dead END.
An aimless walk
Living an existence with no pause-

To breath

a track to run through the old memories of the past
which now looms over the present

It is a familiar path
one which has been walked before

Put stars where there should be spaces
