Each day is a new chapter
In the hefty tome of our lives
Even a small piece of news
Can upset the schemes
Perfected over years
Like the roof of
A centuries old house
That caves in one day
Having witnessed years of
Joys and fortitudes
Causing a maelstrom
Of dust and debris
To settle over all things
Old and New
And invoke disbelief
The dust settles
But the walls stand tall
As silent proofs
Of the layers of history
Visible on their visage
And then a beam of sunlight
Kisses the floor
That hasn't seen the sky
For as long as it can remember
The trees and sky beckon above
Life like the centuries old house
Finds a reason
To hold on a little longer
Because the ray of light
Had found its way through the cracks
