When Past Walks By Your Side
Port Sunlight City
The cute little town near Wirral
of Northwest England
incredibly picturesque
heritage and the aesthetic
wraps around the character of the village
i stroll in a trance
its winding country lanes
Tudor-style cottages that
stand in stately rows of uniformity
beckon you to the Victorian age
that belonged to a century ago
a masterstroke of William Lever
a one man’s vision of
a town of not mere buildings
but of a community of soap factory
motor and trainways co exist
museums and tea-Houses
public buildings, parklands sprawl over
modern life lurks
amongst tree lined boulevards
the ebb and flow of life moves on
the village and inhabitants seem to be trapped
In time
lost tradition and legacy
where you need to ask permission
to paint your front door.
One feels the history living around
the past intertwines into your lives here
deep cave of thoughts
of low-vaulted past
links into life inextricably
that magically walks beside you.
