Silent ghosts wander
Half forgotten memories
Cloistered past present

Glimpsed in the shadows
Flickers of recognition
Dance in the dust motes

Old stone holds magic
Childhood imagination
Remembers wonder

The photo for this week’s prompt was taken at Kirkstall Abbey in Yorkshire, so close to where I spent most of my childhood that I feel as if I know every stone. There are so many legends associated with this place…like the gruesome story of the Lovers Knot, to the legend of the buried treasure… so many memories and ghost stories, that I could not begin to share them all. But clicking the links will take you to a few 😉

Yeah! I knew it was Kirkstall Abbey! I’ve visited it for like the past 4 years when I go to the streampunk fair that’s held at a mill close by there. It’s a really nice little Abbey. 🙂 Thanks for featuring my short story. Looking forward to today’s prompt now!
