A light shone on the horizon
closer we walked, wondering.
The castle loomed above us
brown mulch shown in front
from light dancing on the ground
to match the movements
of the couple upstairs.
Music played around our ears…
A door in front
hanging by one hinge.
Peering through, we saw shadows,
stepped onto cobblestone…
We walked through
Eerie surroundings
Shadows hung in odd places
Figures emerging, fading
The further in we ventured
the closer we came to outside
A door in front hanging by one hinge
Peering through we saw bright
stepped onto soft, green turf
What was this beneath our toes?
Turning to look back
the woman in the window
stands still.
