~E~

Today's A to Z Challenge letter is ~E~ and it is about the haunted ruins of a castle and city once occupied by a sacrificed people in my WIP.

Echo of the Past

Laughter of children heard no more
As toys lie broken on the floor
Dust on tattered curtains amassed
A solemn echo of the past

Hearths lay empty, no fire crackles
Broken pot on bent hook wobbles
As mourning breeze moves through downcast
A solemn echo of the past

Sad breeze blows slowly through the maze
Over rubble and ruins of long ago days.
A people now gone, their dreams smashed
A solemn echo of the past.
