An empty House?

 Copyright Robert Fullarton 2013

Children look on

Astonished as ever

To uncover

An empty house

The world itself,

Is a home

And some say without a master

Or a maker

Where is the warden?

The keeper and owner

Of the house?

These are the offspring

Of an eternal riddle

But some say,

They are the house

And the house

Is their identity

And their need

But over time

The house

Will be reduced

To rubble

And feel the chill

Of a silent one

That watches

And this must surely

Be the owner of the house

The dome of eternity

Is within some say

The dome of eternity

Is outside some say

And some deny the eternal

For the temporal

And watch the weather worsen

As they are

Standing in the rain

Washing off

their eternal pain
