telling the hushed, shadowed rooms of this house that there are birds singing outside its walls.
Pulling open the curtains is like birthing a new galaxy;
the dust, the memories,
unspoken thoughts from centuries before
swirl down from the sculpted tin ceilings in a torrential, shining rain
Interjections from another age walk these hallways
floorboards creak in the utter stillness
and solitude seems an impossibility
For no one can sweep out the presence
of history like they sweep cobwebs
from corners
History does not fade easily
but lasts, and goes on, happily watching
as new history is made
