DERELICT SEA COTTAGE

OH WHAT SECRETS AN OLD SEA COTTAGE COULD TELL.
SALTY WALLS WOULD KNOW THESE SECRETS WELL.
WHISPERING TIMES OF HEAVEN & TIMES OF HELL.
A DECAYED AIRE ALONG WITH A MUSTY SMELL.
AS I AMBLE THROUGH YOUR DELAPIDATED SHELL.
IMAGINING WEARY TRAVELERS RINGING YOUR BELL.
TO THE FAMILIES LIVES BEFORE THEY HAD TO SELL.
THE JUBULANT CRY OF A CELEBRATED YELL.

TO THE DEEP DEPRESSION OF A FINANCIAL LULL.
THE CONFIDENTAIL TALK OF A FAITHFUL PALL.
TO THE PLAINTIFF CRY OF A LONESOME GULL.

HOWEVER THE STORIES WITHIN YOUR OLD WALLS BEFELL.
THEY ARE NOW LOST FOREVER, AS I BID YOU A SAD FAREWELL.
