Beginning To Deteriorate

Have I been?
Tall, dirt-stained buildings
Majestic churches with pointy spires
Clean streets and busy people
A mosaic of a time forgotten

Have I been?
Delightful shrieks of robust children
Blue skies atop lush green landscape
A touch of calm within careful chaos
Flickers of untainted moments

Have I been?
A piece in a mural of millennia
Of love, lives, unending songs
Moments slipping through the mesh
Their value beginning to deteriorate

Have I been?
A speck in eternity
Of a memory almost lost
Captured in a fading mural of value
Once it is and may never be.

I hope you enjoyed reading this poem. It's inspired by the Freewrite #dailyprompt phrase "beginning to deteriorate".

Thank you for visiting my blog.
