The house oo the hill

There it is alone through the storm
this house that is anything but warm
there it Is alone in the dark
this house having anything but a beating heart
there it is alone behind the gate
the house that once was great
I am nearing the house
trying to be quiet as a mouse
I open the old creaking, broken door
only to find a large whole in the floor
looking to my left and then my right
looking up and then down
there it is lying on the cold hard ground.
there she is lying safe and sound
forever quiet,
with her silent secrets in the house
the house on the hill
sitting ever so still

(2013)

don't ever forget the house on the hill
