Whispering Walls

“Can you feel the soul of an abandoned house, can you hear the whispering”...by Constance La France An old, abandoned house touches the heart its walls whisper of the lives it once held though pillars and stairs now crumbling apart lingering stillness stirs a mystic spell as it yearns for those who long ago dwelled Children's laughter echoes in nursery their toddling drawings still hanging on walls Gone are dinners, dances, lights strung in trees walls sigh with memories, as darkness falls, shivering with cold, the emptiness calls In walls' whispers, I hear their plaintive mourn their loneliness felt in the splintered wood in rose-hued wallpaper faded and torn shells of their dignity, once bold and good their whispers only by wind understood May 25, 2023 for "Writing Challenge - C Quotes" poetry contest by Constance La France howmanysyllables.com=10
