My front window faces a country lane
I often study this lane
As I am told that life has changed greatly
But this lane has not changed
Is there anything more beautiful
Than this peaceful country lane
The word decline is often used
But do things actually decline
Farms are a good example
Updated methods of farming
Have actually enhanced the industry
From the seed drill and beyond
Yet many of these farms are now redundant
Because of the economic betrayals
Throughout the years
But have these farms actually declined
The answer is no as they now satisfy
Other uses whether residential or recreational
Or they just return to the fields of their birth
My country lane now is now used by motorised vehicles
Whereas in the past it was used by horse and carts
Is this a decline or a change of use I ask
Let us be clear about this when noting change and decline
These are totally different words and should not be confused
My lane does change four times a year
It is constantly moving
The lane declines and then it is reborn
Everything if you think clearly
Travels in circles without interruption
So do choose your words carefully
Before sharing them with others
These are my final thoughts
