the true ivy league
out exploring with no particular aim but solitude i wandered through an old wood that begins behind a house at the top of the street
it had been years since i'd been up there nothing seemed much changed until the wood gave out into an unfamiliar field and suddenly i was afraid i was lost
the last time I'd been here there had been a vibrant garden attached to a gated estate but now that garden was gone
i wondered if the house was too
i struck off in its direction and sure enough all had disappeared no fence no greenhouse no great palace surrounded by lions of stone and fruit-bearing specimen trees
i continued on to where i remembered the portico would have been and there discovered a lone planter home to a nothing but a disreputable collection of untidy sprangles of motley vegetation
it was battered and beaten the only remaining relic of what had once been enviable grandeur somehow forgotten by whoever had been charged with obliterating all evidence of the gracious life that had been lived there
how ironic but also fitting to discover upon closer inspection sprigs of ivy - that classic symbol of eternity - still growing green and sturdy despite being abandoned in that crowded slum of a planter
proof that despite our vanities and ambitions there is still much beyond our purview and that long after we in our greedy hubris have reduced our monuments to rubble something of nature will survive ~ copyright 2015 RC deWinter
