The Silent House

jo

The silent house
Speaks to me

Ticking clock
Of times gone by

Empty rooms
Of voids in the past

Humming fridge
Of magnetic memories

Creaking walls
Of changes anon

Chattering birds
Of apt words

Restless budgie
Of caged emotions

Still air
Of the growth of peace

Motionless doors
Of my turn to move, and unlock
