A Silent Song

 

an inquisitive breeze

secrets a window ajar,

to an empty room

haunted by memories,

that linger in the dust,

spiraling their ghostly dance

through chandeliers relic,

where muted colors perform

in capture of sunbeams mirth,

splashed by faded crystal trinkets

that recall yesterday’s bravado,

resurrecting a forgotten room

to smile again life’s beauty.
