Ghost towns and eerie lanes

Ghost towns and eerie lanes

Every single shop has a closed sign on a door as I walk along the street on the soaking wet floor
Ghost towns and eerie lanes with painted pictures of rainbows on window panes
What once was such a busy bustling path stands so empty from people in the aftermath

I count only one other person and me wandering through the town square where the stallholders used to be
Gone is the hustle bustle chatter from the trader’s calls with banging and clatter
This could be a scifi futuristic film scene yet it is reality but was never foreseen

 “Wow what is that I see moving along infront of me ?”
“Can my eyes be fooling my brain ?” “But no that is a solitary roe deer as right as rain”
How utterly absurd and how can this be true? Wild animals are roaming the streets from out of the blue
Well this is a sight I thought I would never ever see as the leggy creature bolts when it notices me

" WHAT IS IN " a " SPACE ? " Matters. You, have to hold a vision of what was there, and, what should be there. You, certainly can be safer in " SPACE " if, threat has been removed. Know what it represents where YOU STAND. See the goodness, that could be. Rather, than your " own creation " which was. Perhaps distorted, by lies of this land. Know, what is best. For, THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH. Beyond corruption, and, danger. You, should make the most of life, wherever you are. And, know " the real " MEANING OF SECURITY AND COMFORT. To, make all you can, of it.
