One last long look,
an over the shoulder glance
and a sigh as I try
to take it all in
before I close the door
and say goodbye
such memories,
once you were vibrant,
so full of our life
a shelter from the storm
you once housed our hopes
as we watched the world
though your panes
in all its seasons pass
one last long look
has now left you, bare,
revealed for what you are
just a shell, awaiting
the next souls who
will breathe some new and
different life into you
the door now forever
closes with a click
the time has come
to move forward
as our hearts eagerly seek
a brand new home.
The last picture taken of a home we lived in for almost ten years before it was sold the next day
I hope you're enjoying the poetry! If so, the best compliment you can give is to share my work with others, either face-to-face or online. I appreciate your continued support!
