The history of Mayville is lost in time;
I am sure I will find it in an old box full of
dusty diaries tucked away somewhere,
or maybe in an old book of records,
so I start searching. I gather stories
and old pictures here and there,
and I can't let go.
It captures me and holds me prisoner.
I long to search nooks and crannies
in old building around town and beyond.
Searching  everywhere to find
that missing link that will set me free.
