What Lurks Within

The room stands empty now But it was not always so. These bare walls enfold and protected the past. Memories lurk here... The corners are filled with tears, laughter and the scent of yesterday. In the end that is all there is.. pictures in the mind and the sound that time makes in passing. Bare walls I do not see.. I see the memories that grab your heart and hold it fast. Light through the window dances in the soul.....the memory of a room, and the life that was lived there.

This is just exquisite, Barbara...I feel the nostalgic and empty sadness...Reads like the loss of a daughter or son...Thanks for this - Tim
