Ancient Buildings In India Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Ancient Buildings In India

Rating: 5.0


Stationed in hallways through the years, abandoned in
the cobwebs dusty with age, spiders long since gone,
nothing stirring, not even the dust.

An ageless breeze always flowing through the cracks
in the walls and ceilings, looking above, dreaming of
this other world when once it was young like us.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
In Kolkata, got to see so many buildings from 250 to 350 years old. Architecture being Victorian and absolutely beautiful! Gave me a feeling of nostalgic sadness for what used to be here in India.

So sad to see majestic buildings standing as tombstones of a generation long gone, the ageless breeze is that song with no words, wonderful poem with cobwebs being keepers of the gate
