An Abandoned Home
Unlike wind takes to sails, the old door is closed eternally
A disgraced paint fade lie upon rusted hinges
As the grass grows over time, lengthening so free
a path which held on civilization, now disappears into creation
fake colors of green blend against the grain of grass
without windows warm sunlight makes to envelope the house, reflection is
starved away
surrounding the door innocently, to an off white escape
filled with cracks upon no effort to fix
what has once entered this door will never return
the mysterious lock is never locked
the weathered attitude and displacement keeps the door close
whether the entrance leave forever to never enter again
or inside still lie the never to leave
