Of All Things Abandoned

I walked the path that went by the woods, Untrodden, arduous, serpentine. It offered me healing green, unseen.  I brought home blooms that grew by the roads, Withering wallflowers, forsaken.  They adorn my garden now, motley. I held them close, the things men left back,  Abandoned, woebegone, disavowed. They embraced this kindred soul within.   Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
