Empty Old Houses

Empty old houses can talk…
But one must know how to listen…
to hear them

Empty old houses can suffer..
But one must have empathy …
To feel it

Empty old houses have stories…
But one must have ability to listen…
to hear them

Empty old houses can feel pain
But one must be able to bear it …
To feel it

Empty old houses have memories
But one must believe … that they have…
To share them

Empty old houses can seem dead and unknowing
But one must know... that they’re not..
To know them

Empty old houses contain people’s past lives
But one must believe…that they do…
To share them

Empty old houses can teem with life’s pleasures
But one must walk through
to sense the aura of life

Empty old houses abound in past lives treasures
But one cannot help but…
To admire them
