House of ancestors
The old house has survived for many generations.
Their stories hang ethereally in the room.
It's been vacant for many years.
It smells musty,
every single step kicks up dust,
that gets caught in cobwebs.
The sun penetrates sparsely
through the closed shutters,
makes shadows visible,
where there aren't any.
Sawdust trickles off and on
from the woodworm-infested truss.
This house tells stories,
you can hear children's laughter from the past,
as well as drama and love.
It's gonna be a lot of work,
to fix it up.
Yes, it will shine in its old glory.
I open a window,
smell those planted in the front garden
Herbs ethereal,
smell the grass that grows everywhere.
And almost smell how the old house shines clean.
