Ancient stone walls- v4

Unrecorded history,
Ancient stone walls
In my travels, my journeys,
Out into the woods, the forests,
Walls for fields that once existed
Now lost to the ages, to time;
 
Their work, their lives,
Generations of owners,
Long forgotten, a legacy
Without purpose at all.
 
Forgotten structures,
Ancient stone walls
Pushed by roots, by trees,
Reclaiming their courses
Lines of civilization
Nothing of nature;
 
Artificial fences, boundaries,
Walls neglected, unmended,
Long forgotten, a legacy
Without purpose at all.
