Fallen Down


    There was a time, not too long ago (so long ago)


    When I stood amidst the ashes of my failure


    A dream unwrought by misplaced trustA case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.


    By failing health and my own laziness


    Yet even ashes nourish soil. In defeat I turned to a new cause worthwhile


    To be a shepherd of broken things.


    The discarded, unwanted and forgotten.


    It''s no search for truth, not a grand crusade.


    Yet its worth remains the same


    My happiness is almost what it seems


    Reduce, reuse, recycle was never meant for dreams.
