Census Report

The echos run from the cellar
Pass through wood and brick
Mortar and strong Yorkshire stone
 
Touch the phantoms chatting in the lounge
The ghosts passing on the stairway
The spectres, ever astir, in the upper rooms
 
Over a century
Of living, breathing
Vibrant souls
Nest with me here
As shadows.
 
A distant but distinct trail
Of life and love
Passion and hate
Excitement and grief
Entwines.
 
The space is shared;
The thread unbroken
 
No haunting
No visitation
No fear
 
Just heritage
to value

Thanks Stu, appreciate the comment.

I'm still playing about with the ending on this (not something I usually do, but not quite happy with it)

reads really well this. hints of menace and quite unnerving.
