Keeper of Secrets
There is a castle up on the hill
I visit sometimes.
It is empty now
and looks quite sad
but long, long ago it was alive
and filled with music,
magic and mystery.
If it could talk
it would tell stories
of kings and queens,
banquets and battles,
laughter, love and loss
but it sits forever silent.
Protector of the Past.
Minder of Memories.
Keeper of Secrets.
I visit sometimes.
It is empty now
and looks quite sad
but long, long ago it was alive
and filled with music,
magic and mystery.
If it could talk
it would tell stories
of kings and queens,
banquets and battles,
laughter, love and loss
but it sits forever silent.
Protector of the Past.
Minder of Memories.
Keeper of Secrets.
