Closer Look
See the house
In the country
Among the silent hills
And flower fields
Where green grass waves
Under blue sky
Long abandoned
Or is it
Take a closer look
And see
The new occupants
A fox slips out the back door
See her den in the kitchen
A field mouse now calls
The bedroom home
Bats sleep in the attic
An assortment of insects
Await those who seek
Though abandoned
And forgotten by man
This house is now cherished
By the wild
