Home

 

A decrepit abode, standing alone

Guarded by dark, sullen trees

All is still, delightfully tranquil

As sunlight filters through leaves

 

Colorful flowers, like moss on old towers

Weave toward the jagged rooftop

As I look at this place, tales meet my gaze

To which I lose a fragile teardrop

 

Way back when, this place was lived in

T’was full of light, laughter and love

Windows were opened, sunshine poured in

For someone, this house was enough

 

It was the birthplace of dreams, of precious mem’ries

Which they clung to when they felt alone

This place lacked nothing, it held everything

For someone, this house was Home

I have always been fascinated by the idea that most everything that is now old and broken down was once loved dearly by someone on this earth. Everything has a past. Everything has history. Everything has a story.
