Moss crept soft on ancient stone
Vines embraced their secret throne
Gate unlatched with missing sound
Footsteps kissed the sleeping ground
Nothing lost though gone from sight
Roots still held the tender right
Flowers waited for the breeze
Life whispered through hidden trees
Not abandonment but rest
Seasons paused in nature’s nest
Memory thrived in sacred green
Time grew rich between the seen
Paths forgotten still exist
Nature keeps no tally list
Beauty waits for those who roam—
Every lost place leads you home
