Haunted House

this house is haunted
yes it is
every corner of it
generations
babies laughing
playing
food and love
loss and sweat
happy gatherings
fireside musings
sad news
silence
music
storys
prayer
hope
joy
dispair
this house is haunted
with voices
with memory
it is palpable
it is
real
the beams in the ceiling
hewn by hands long past
hold the memory
of the those who
passed them
as they stood
in the woods
holding
birds who's nests
spawned song
flight
weathered storms
and
seasons
now they remain
sentinals
observers of generations
these walls have
watched childern grow
the old pass away
endured storms
seen sons
leave for
every war
held
wounded soldiers
passing
treated here
has seen
daughters
give birth
raise children
this house is haunted
with music
conversation
passion argument
laughter
the smells of savory food
animals and children
this house holds the work of many hands
hard handed work
soft rememberances
rest
peace
longing
revelation

spirits
wander
spirits blend
spirits become harmoney
become the very texture
substance
strength
and
will
of lifes journey
this house is filled
with
humanitys wealth
this house is haunted
this house is haunted
with all who have
passed this way
this haunted house
lives and breathes
this wonderful
beautiful

home

lives
