Yes indeed, my friend…I’ve walked those aisles myself, feeling the dust as currency, breathing in the silence. You captured that weight perfectly. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

It\'s a fine sight to see Children reading a Book instead of looking at a tablet or Phone.
Well Said.

I\'ve always loved libraries, particularly those of my youth, when books were found on index cards instead of by pounding computer keys. Your beautifully written poem takes me back to that quiet, magical place. Thank you for the reminiscence.

Yes indeed, my dear friend…this carries Faulkner’s ghost, but in your own cadence. The grief, the weight, the motion that cannot stop...you’ve rendered it powerfully. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛ Very well done!

My friend, this is powerful…each detail...the oaken door, the empty stairwell, the fading nursery...brings memory alive even as time erases it. A very poignant piece. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Whenever I see an old House; I often wonder about the many family saga\'s played out within the Walls. Especially Homes that go back to Victorian or Georgian times.
A fine Poem.

So true - out with the old, in with the new!
Memories are swallowed on eye pads, as meaningless as the vanity that created them.
Where\'s the grand ones?

A poem where nostalgia leaks from old pipes and shadowy ghosts reside in dust. Sadness falls in shadows with the fragrance of yesterday lost in must. A poem of loss and decay of yesterday. Lovely a fave

Very true words Rik, we are different people inside and outside our bodies but will become one at the end.

This poem is beautifully introspective and deeply evocative it captures the tension of belonging and identity with precision and grace. Love the rhyme. Nicely written.

Wow! I’ve walked this tension myself—the in-between, the not-here-not-there. You’ve given voice to that fracture in a way that feels both personal and universal. Well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛ Love this.

Dear, arqios,
Either in step or out of step with society, the mind knows, the heart questions and the soul conquers. I\'ve always loved the expression, \'worlds away\' where the senses detect the usual but in an unusual way. I have enjoyed reading this, very much so.
Fond regards,
Tony.
