Residence

Residence ...inspired by 'The New Faces' By W.B. Yeats We dead shall walk the hallways unopposed, and lend an air of mystery to paint and plaster peeling, thus exposed when daylight turns to dusk; for there's a faint uneasiness as new ones gather, pested to hear our ghostly whisperings and may have second thoughts, their courage tested; were we not bolder occupants than they?

Hmmm...this is another one of those: 'I feel overwhelmed and speechless', which means I will most probably say too much:( I do find this to be an amazing piece, Keith! Yeats must surely have been standing beside your shoulder enjoying each thought and utterance. It's smooth and flows, but almost feels like there are air bubbles where one can stop and breathe in the imagery. Lovely piece..wishing you and yours the best...God bless you all..Mikki
