Boxes In The Attic

Boxes In The Attic

 

Old thoughts hang like cobwebs in the corners of my mind.

The old floors creak as I travel back in time.

I remember when the boards were solid and straight

The old house had fresh paint and steps leading to the gate

The halls were filled with activity and people full of joy

But now there’s quiet and only memories of a boy

Hushed tones fill dark hallways as whispers spread

There is longing in my soul of those days inside my head

When innocence protected me throughout each new day

Until so much life happened and stole it all away

And so I haunt this old house I remember so very well

Dusting away the cobwebs as squeaky boards do tell

    This is brilliant. Beautiful rhythm.
    Just one note, by QUITE you mean QUIET?
