TREASURE IN THE WOODS





Sunlight graced the old cabin

as the door creaked open

dust covered photos

still hung on the walls.



There stood a brick fireplace

A mason jar atop

Filled with antique silver coins

glistening in the dim light.


A table in the corner

displayed open newspapers

and some hard covered books

Next to an oil lantern.


The wooden floor boards cracked

as the bedroom came to view

bunk beds lined in a row

Covered in hand quilted spreads.



An old diary lay

tucked beneath a pillow

held closed with a gold brooch

Annabelle 1809.


A lifetime of memories

as if frozen in time

hidden behind these walls

Of this treasure in the woods.
