Abandoned.
|
||||
|

---
|
||||
|
||||
There once was a plot of land
|
||||
And two different people.
|
||||
No connection, no relation;
|
||||
Neither materials nor creation.
|
||||
The only building being air.
|
||||
|
||||
Time had other ideas.
|
||||
|
||||
Somehow, sticks and mortar?
|
||||
Enough for a hut or sculpture.
|
||||
Something was built (hard to classify).
|
||||
It was fragile and meek; plenty to hide.
|
||||
Creation was tried.
|
||||
|
||||
Yet came steel and brick!
|
||||
Development had begun. Walls becoming thick.
|
||||
It wasn't pretty; without colour or light.
|
||||
Sturdy at least... trustworthy?
|
||||
Clearly missing glass: no modern transparency.
|
||||
|
||||
Glass? It was a miracle.
|
||||
Materials flooded in, each part of the puzzle.
|
||||
Almost complete: a house upon this plot.
|
||||
It looked nice. It was also remote;
|
||||
No other buildings at all close.
|
||||
|
||||
Creak, twist. Shatter, crack!
|
||||
|
||||
Seemed like things went too far.
|
||||
Not enough support, things fell apart.
|
||||
The structure itself remained...
|
||||
Glass was surely strained.
|
||||
What was to be done?
|
||||
|
||||
Nothing... for a while.
|
||||
The two people took a break:
|
||||
First travelled, and then built with others,
|
||||
Second meandered and hoped to smother.
|
||||
The only building being empty.
|
||||
|
||||
Then a solution;
|
||||
Stronger glass with one little addition
|
||||
It goes from clear to black, black to clear
|
||||
As either wants it to appear.
|
||||
Construction restarted.
|
||||
|
||||
With the repairs complete the house was done.
|
||||
Not a house for living, but a house for fun.
|
||||
Was it ever? No... it was often dim.
|
||||
The magic glass was set too dark.
|
||||
Better than fallen apart?
|
||||
|
||||
Time had other ideas.
|
||||
|
||||
Life progressed and things improved,
|
||||
Until it was put to a stop.
|
||||
The plot of land was up for sale:
|
||||
The creation to be abandoned
|
||||
And materials soon non-real.
|
||||
|
||||
Each grabbed a fraction...
|
||||
With hopes that things could further?
|
||||
Little creation, little relation,
|
||||
Reduced materials, reduced connection.
|
||||
The only building overgrown and abandoned.
|
||||
|
||||
So here we stand... distant.
|
||||
With no building or structure;
|
||||
No place for development.
|
||||
Not all is lost - but it does seem bleak.
|
||||
Will two people stay in sync?
