Cottage For Sale.
The grapes on the vine
Which even now climb
Up the old archway are indigo blue.
One long-gone springtime
We tasted the prime
Wine fruit and admired its delicate hue.
Our smiling house then
Was window-laced, mended
Were the wood gates which love entered thru.
All still feels the same.
Memory reclaims
Only the good times enjoyed here with you.
Cottage for sale
Will ever contain
Remains of the spirit shared by us two.

A last look around before closing the door, a thousand memories, in our hearts are still raw. a piece of ourselves we leave in each room, a place where children, and love may bloom.

It is above all the shape and form of this one that is so arresting and serves so powerfully to express the bitter-sweetness of memory. You're right. The house you grew up in or fell in love in or reared your brood in is particularly precious. Beautiful poem. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Every time I see one of the houses I spent years in... The memories flood back... all the love, the challenges, the victories, the kids... this is amazingly wonderful... :)
