Remnants by Jo Salmoretti Original Poem

Yesterday's hearts once flowed free here
Living out lives, sharing
People places, held so dear
Family, friends, abundant caring

Old walls do speak, you must see
Beyond the darkness and empty space
Listen close that which holds the key
To its history, once full of grace

Time stops for one one, this we know
The sun will rise, the oceans tide
Mortality is given and then lets go
Even hidden among this country side

Remnants of once before
Cob webbed shadows, take in light
Broken stones still mark a door
and the souls that which have taken flight

Dramatic and Desolate, yet beauty remained
Against the blue-grey sky
Its proven existence, still contained
Marks to ponder and ask why

Why this reminder of shattered pieces left behind
It's here to stay, to let it show
Life was once, so call to mind
What shall forever remain in moons glow.
