Hers

She floated among ruins

They were hers

Obliterated

Haunted

 

Every stone was broken

They were hers

Neglected

Crushed

 

The windows laid in pieces

They were hers

Shattered

Opaque

 

The doors no longer framed

They were hers

Splintered

Useless

 

The ruins are where she was

They were hers

Beaten

Forgotten

 

She floated out to sea

It wasn't hers

Frightened

Lost

 

She found a peaceful harbor

It wasn't hers

Cautious

Unsure

 

She stood upon the shore

It wasn't hers

Beauty

Peace

 

She gathered many stones

Now they're hers

Carved

Perfect

 

She crafted many windows

Now they're hers

Transparent

Shiny

 

She crafted many doors

Now they're hers

Closed

Open

 

She lives within this house

Now it's hers

Love

Joy
