reddened leaves blow across
the lattice truss,
muffling the clapping of
hooves against ancient wood,
whistling along the decades,
unremembered, but
never leaving

Very nice ...
and very nicely done. The images and the vocabulary here blend into a pleasing write, and paint a picture that moves along with the time as you read.
Kudos on a job well done.

I really love the imagery that you have used here
it creates a beautiful atmosphere that is peaceful and still somewhat somber the ending is powerful, and brings the reader back to earth with a soft thump!
Thank you for entering
