Home is so Sad
Home is so sad. It stays as it was left,
Shaped to the comfort of the last to go
As if to win them back. Instead, bereft
Of anyone to please, it withers so,
Having no heart to put aside the theft
And turn again to what it started as,
A joyous shot at how things ought to be,
Long fallen wide. You can see how it was:
Look at the pictures and the cutlery.
The music in the piano stool. That vase.
by Philip Larkin

Nostalgic and atmospheric, a reminder of times gone by - a lovely shot with a tinge of sadness.

This reminds me of the transient and ephemeral nature of our time on this planet. Great image and words to match.
