Paused here to
ponder
all the sounds that echoed
be it laughter
or argument
that filled this once
upon a time grand place
before a greedy bank
took it all away.
Imagine the wallpaper design
coats of paint applied
growth charts in kitchen
carved, dated in wood
stones marking the graves
of dogs, cats
that kept love alive.
I ponder the crops
that grew
the garden out back
that fed many a mouth
cause times were hard
but always, always
love seen each day through.
Imagine how many places
like this
fell into depression
by a greedy bank
with an absent mind
heart blank.
