[bodytext] => The railway bridge affords protection from the grey persistent rain a black, foreboding brick erection will we see it's type again? Stalactite like chalk deposits formed from years of great neglect slowly drop the moisture trapped their aim precise and most select. Years of such decomposition drip their filthy waters down puddles muddy and unkempt cause passers by to scan the ground the echo of this bridge draws children to call out in high pitch tones the only other sound of note is rumbling of trains that drone. The river flows under the arches the shadows contrast with the light the sun appears, the cloud are parted it is so low, will soon be night. The beauty of the parkland scene it is misplaced, as if a dream but that is what the engineers conquered, joining there to here. The parkland fights back most relentless moss and ivy creep up walls privets grow from elevations roots escape through mortar holes rusty signs from time once lost point at dangers that have passed fences new, attached to old to keep us out, but they don't last. A train approaches, it's most modern shining beauteous metal gleans electric groans from deep within power from it's engines stream the other way a diesel workhorse carries loads of wood and ore I could describe so many journeys but I fear I'd be a bore. So I walk on the riverbank and leave the relic of the past a country great, from innovation may recede, but will it last?. The beauty of this parkland scene it will advance, relentless green legacy of the engineers? soon conquered by the passing years.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
