Description They stood soft - not far from a hill.
Upon a height - waiting for nothing more.

Small hands hold small hands
While chin meets black jacket shoulder.

Outside is their world, but for them
Their world is decaying.

The view from here is of riot,
Of individual loss and beauty gone.

Its panoramic and all encompassing,
With a sea, hills and a sky raining down.

Two pairs of feet, each upon the other,
Both wet, both cold - sad eyes and jumpers torn.

Time heals and time destroys.
Time to smash up all its toys.

Time destroys finally,
Stand in pairs,
                     - know thy enemy.

The picture's grand, as for the poem, its really great, yet it's hard to describe the reaction.
I've read it a bunch of times and I can see more each time, its damn vivid, and very evocative. And I like it. The end.
