Eve Roper Poet Couplet

Home's Whispering Soul

"Can you feel the soul of an abandoned house;
can you hear the whispering? "
Quote by _Constance La France


The knowledge is worth more than anything;
wistful memories we called home did bring.

Where our story drone echoed through the walls;
this abandoned home's soul as daylight falls.

Children's loud whispers ever robust songs,
weaved with endless squabbles of rights and wrongs.

Decay from yesteryear changing seasons;
leaves fell, covered round, a mulch like reason.

Green balm, soundlessness hollow, nature's home,
lull emotions of hopefulness now roam.

As it faints away and falls, darkness calls
to the soul of the house's mournful walls.
