A clear view

That house on the right, the one that’s smaller,
It has a clear view from there, or from here.

With all the windows shut,
At night, the candle moves with the breeze,
But for the breeze outside.

It’s as if this old house is still breathing,
The thick of the night,
And the vision of someone still, but there.

A beautiful silver tarnished mirror on the table,
Still sits there, with only the beautiful memories.

House

I enjoyed your poem. I wrote a poem about the house I grew up in, I wish I still had it. They do hold memories don't they?

To the memories!

Thank you,...it's nice to hold on to them, it gives us peace I think at times.
.........it's not to easy trying to go back......
Thank's, Ron

It's nice to give thought, to the thought of what made us first fall in love with poetry, and not to abuse it.
