Crumbling castles
Fall in
Stones
Build up eras, while out of doors
Gored. . . over the moats and crocodile teeth!
Grind down
Forms
Who fits the beat?

Fort up
The pebble
Be from the slide
The clock fights for still,
Pushed over in time. . .
Battlements!
. . . it’s all earthly, anyway!
In a rock that rolled, His cerement remained!

Crumbling castles
Are made of what?
So, where’s your keep
"love?"
Even the shadows have alt!
(A sept once, array of the cast . . . redoubt, there is no past!)
Soon, His Son will be rays over another foundation;
I call it, "Dust Reformation!"

Reconstruction, reclamation, crumbling castles . . . restoration
Crumbling castles . . .
"Leave no stone unturned . . . "
A Traveler found vines wrapped around the telamon’s. . .
Says, He’s bringing all our kingdoms down!
Down!
Down. . .
Down.

He said, He’s bringing all our kingdoms down!

[I call it, "Dust Reformation!"]

Me, too!

You bring me the image of a little child who studiously builds blocks into a tower and finally ... with great glee ... smashes it down! And then, studiously, builds an even better tower ...

Good one Kimmers! Love the pic, too.

Clever use of imagery to create a picture of gradual decay.
It's interesting that where castle ruins once stood proud and intact in Scotland, they were seats (and symbols) of power. However, as with the Roman and more recently the Soviet empires social decay sets in and along with the ruling hegemony, it gradually implodes. The walls of the castle then fall figuratively or literally.
The fact that Edinburgh, Caernavon and Windsor castles are still intact and active is indicative of the UK's survival, however wobbly at times, as a united nation.
Striking photograph.

Regards
Dai
