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 trust

  If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

  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.
