Watching with affections 

As the wind blows in change, travelling throughout the course of history

Observing the surroundings, which lasted throughout the ages of time

Wondering with amazement, just the idea of these grounds, these trees, these rivers and landscapes

Are the survivors of time and change, being witnessed in the making of history

Listening for their faint voices, unheard in so long, being overlooked by all

Famous battles, historical events, important events which made the world, the way everything is

Watching the beautiful surroundings all around, with affections realised with thoughts

Imagine what stories are revealed, if only the grounds and landscape were heard

Imagine what lessons could be learnt, if only we ain’t too busy, searching in the wrong places

Taking the time to sit down, and listen to the truth, of things that were there
