The Dust Of Ages... Poem by Dan McGonagle

It lies here still...unmoved...untouched
Neither rain nor wind exposed
While unseen movements in the dark
Keep its secret forever enclosed

Locked deep inside a castle keep
Long forgotten by those above
Surrounded by a musty smell
Bereft of care and love

The dust of ages settles here
Enshrined in eternal gloom
Never knowing the sunshines warm caress
Never seeing the flowers bloom

Entombed forever within these walls
I feel my spirit sigh
Will I feel beloved again
Before the day I die
