this old house,
its lights dim
with each passing day,
aging bones creak
and yawn, while
seduced by
a patinaed facade
Oh, the stories,
their essence drifts
like the aroma
of freshly baked bread
warming the cockles
of one’s heart
nestled where quaint
meets cozy,
its cherished charm
becomes one
with life forever
etched in our soul

Eugenia,
Lovely poem. This old house has a lot of charm and definitely treasured memories. That’ll be kind of hard to let go of when and if we ever find our new forever home. Thanks for sharing.
