Empty window
Recalls
Days of voice,
Filled up halls.
Rocking chair
Holds the space
For creaky floors
Under pace.
Tattered curtains
Still long
For a hand
To belong.
The old house
Holds its breath.
When time spins
Back again,
They will come back.
Amen.

we tend to forget that homes are not just bricks and mortar, they miss ûs when we go and hate being left empty…

And the abandoned spaces certainly resonate with any of us who wonder about the life that was lived within the walls that now stand only with the echoes. 🙂

Thank you, yes, I believe they do. There is always a melancholy to abandoned houses, that goes beyond derelict stuff. xoxo Na’ama
