REMINISCE OF MAN

The essence of man lingers in the air,
Broken branches strewed along the tattered path,
Wounded petals fluttering behind the newly beaten trail,
Atmosphere of fear trembling throughout the serene silence,
Violation of the innocence that once gave its' vibrancy,
Destroying the peace and serenity of its' habitants,
Taking away the ambiance that once glowed radiant,
Leaving behind a tortured ground, once sacred.
