Welcome young traveler,
Welcome young muse,
Welcome young guest
Who walks unenthused.
Welcome young madam,
Welcome young sir,
Welcome young adult
Who made such a stir.
Welcome moms,
And welcome dads,
Welcome parents
Who never had.
Welcome life,
Welcome death,
Welcome you
Who claimed my final breath.
Welcome reader,
Welcome poet,
Welcome to those
Who can never show it.
Welcome beast,
Welcome liars,
Welcome those
Who fall from those spires.
Welcome to all,
Who see my abode,
For it sits alone
On this deathly still road.
