Hacking the trees
excited at the find
an old mill
a sign of the times
Trending into the past
the river breached its banks
causing some damage
misplacing some planks
The river changed direction
now the mill is in a stream
leaving its life to the imagination
an exciting dream
Repairing the damage
the wheel begins to spin
water gushing through it
productive again
Visitors come
excited to see the past
a new town surrounds it
history alive at last
