Left Key Under Mat

The Key 
Was left
under the
Mat

The dreams
they had 
was left 
with it

Closet emptied
Medicine Cabinet
Cleared
Jewelry Box
Vanished

The Key 
Was left
under the
Mat

Yet the spirit
of the dwelling
has now become
stale

A sadness
to Yesterday
A panic for today
and an Apathetic
Tomorrow

The buds
in the forsaken
pot that hangs
on the front
Porch 
however
Will once
again 
bloom
providing
a new story
a new thought
a new family
with the arrival
of
Spring...........................
