Rusted hinges creak. A mourning, musty groan. A hollow echo in a house once known. For laughter's chime & footsteps light n' free. Now just a shell, a haunting memory Sunlight struggles through dust laden panes. Illuminating cobwebs, remnants of bygone rains Each chipped, flaking wall a silent plea. A yearning for the life that used to be. I tead with reverence on creaking floorboards worn Imagining the stories in this place forlorn The faded paint, a canvas cracked n' dim Holds whispers of love that used to be brim. Slowly, tools in hand, I break the mournful spell New life I bring, A future yet to dwell. Hammer strikes meet chisel's tap. A symphony of hope, dispelling sorrow's trap. Ignored or words to adorn. May fade like soundless wind. Invisible, lyrics to be hushed. "A Ghost Story"

From Whispers to Walls
Rusted hinges creak. A mourning, musty groan. A hollow echo in a house once known. For laughter's chime & footsteps light n' free. Now just a shell, a haunting memory Sunlight struggles through dust laden panes. Illuminating cobwebs, remnants of bygone rains Each chipped, flaking wall a silent plea. A yearning for the life that used to be. I tead with reverence on creaking floorboards worn Imagining the stories in this place forlorn The faded paint, a canvas cracked n' dim Holds whispers of love that used to be brim. Slowly, tools in hand, I break the mournful spell New life I bring, A future yet to dwell. Hammer strikes meet chisel's tap. A symphony of hope, dispelling sorrow's trap. Ignored or words to adorn. May fade like soundless wind. Invisible, lyrics to be hushed. "A Ghost Story"
Created this on the spot, hopefully not too shabby!
