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.
