Baltersan's dream

In shadowed Ayrshire, where the tempest sighs,
Stands Baltersan Castle 'neath the brooding skies.
Ancient stones, draped in the veil of despair,
Whisper secrets of sorrow in the chilling air.
A specter of grandeur, its turrets reach high,
Beneath the pallid moon, like a ghostly sigh.
The winds weave their mournful, melodic lament,
As echoes of lost souls in the twilight are spent.
Ivy-clad ruins, where time’s fingers trace,
The remnants of laughter, now lost in this place.
Yet, in the stillness, a haunting allure,
In Baltersan's shadows, the heart finds its cure.
