Through The Veil For Dave Walker Poem by Eric Cockrell

Through The Veil For Dave Walker

Rating: 5.0


there's a light
in the window
of the house

forgotten by time;
a book on the table,
unopened.

footprints on the floor
covered with dust.
a cup in the sink

half-empty.
the wind blows
curtains grey with time....

whispering, whispering....
names that cannot
be heard.

voices, echoes,
creaking the floor.
a book of photographs

on the closet floor.
walking through the mist,
the fog and the shadows,

touching small particles
of being left like gifts....
lives unwrapped into mine!

Nice! I once stumbled on a house like this as a kid, in the woods, no road nearby, just as if it had been suddenly abandoned with nothing removed, it haunted me for years. Still does.

A great poem. And its a great honour. Thankyou very much. You've made my day.

The emptiness of a home. Abandon and forgotten. But it never forgets you. Marks left deep beneath the wooden frame. Great poem as always.
