All windows and doors opened inside
Thoughts walk halls, nothing to hide
Looming around corners
The old mansion creaks
Memories come back and tension peeks

One by one, you close thoughts in their place
Many rooms in the mansion
You must make haste
Closing the windows and closing the doors
Cleaning the walls and washing the floors

Front door opened wide to a wondrous new day
Fresh thoughts come inside to work and play
Flutter and flit
They rule your old home
And at day’s end they leave you alone

Sleep closes the front door and opens the rooms
Old thoughts come out
To see what new looms
They mingle and play with the new thoughts that stay
Recalibrating for storage come a new day

what I really love about this poem is its sing-song rhythm. It has been very well crafted, I think - well done!

Line 8 - an 'e' may be missing - 'haste'?

Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.

Thank you twice, once for the comment and then also for catching the error and allowing me to present a better piece.
