I hesitated to go back
To the Old City ~ not knowing
What I might find there ~ so many years
Had now passed since my last visit
Communication was good at first
Letters from MITHRAS by mule train
Messages from travellers ~ then NOTHING !
It had been nigh on forty years now
Except for snippets from unknown sources.
When I reached CARPACE ~ I had doubts
And thought of turning back ~ but instead
I pressed on 50 miles ~ my horse heavy
From a distance ~ it looked idyllic
But nothing prepared for the DESOLATION !
Thanks for visiting ~ Comments welcome ~ Love to all BRIAN
DESOLATION 2 WILL BE POSTED TOMORROW ~ BRIAN
