the old sod house

The door is shaken awake by the lonely wind

Gently swinging to and fro,

Disturbing creatures still living within

The old sod house on a hill.

Windows were broken out long ago

And now stare blindly at scenes

Stolen away with memory

Along with forgotten dreams.

The winds of time hold an echo

of laughter no longer heard

Who lived there, I will never know.

The footprints having been laid to rest,

Beg to remain undisturbed.
