 Ethereal Moments The Poetry of Donavon Scott Vinson

The Old House


The cracked and broken ancient door hangs open
upon rusted old hinges beckoning me to come in
as it waits for someone to replace it and bring
the  wonderful newness of life to its rotting frame.
I see a ceiling full of cracks and lines decaying
above my head awaiting repairs which shall never come.
Windows lie shattered and covered with spider webs upon
the moldy once golden carpet as chandeliers hang haphazardly
missing their once powerful glowing lights.
In the kitchen I see a broken down old stove and a rusted out
refrigerator missing the cooking of mother's warm love.
and as I take my leave of this tired old house I look upon
it one last time and see the rotted timbers and the broken
down old chimney and hear them call out please come fix me.
Donavon Scott Vinson
