The Abandoned House
"Can you feel the soul of an abandoned house;
can you hear the whispering?"
Quote by _Constance La France
I hear the whispers from those chimes
still swinging on the splintered porch;
where windows, once in happy times,
shone brightly neath the lantern's torch.
Abandoned now, the old house moans
as wind chimes strike with sadness too.
I feel the heartbreak in the tones
that echo loss of what it knew.
The gloom and emptiness impart
that signs of living are now gone;
the gatherings within its heart
now missed where coziness was drawn.
The wind chimes whisper in the breeze;
lament the loss of happy days.
As sadness murmurs through the trees-
forlorn, bereft- the house decays.
