Silenced Beauty

Oh, how Emmaline did write,

Her touch to the parchment;

How she thought it was a plight,

She forever a lent.

 

Plastered walls encompassing

As she avidly wrote.

White curtains to indite,

Details to she would gloat.

 

How she and they sat: cat and dog,

Hammers striking the strings.

Its tone creating a sound bog,

Words ones to ever sing.

 

Books stacked there effortlessly,

Beauty with a quote.

The animals, with ever chi,

Spied for an anecdote.

 

Yet, how literature was bent,

Her quilt now forsaken;

How they would forever relent:

They never awakened.
