Jan 5, 2012. Solitude

 

Don't try to frighten me

with solitude. I've climbed into

the jail cell of my mind before.

One bed, one table, one chair,

one window, one typewriter

and a handful of books. 

 

I've watched the freighters

slide thru the harbor, the orphan

boys in the street as they picked

the pockets of rich tourists.

 

I've watched the birds

come and go with the seasons,

stray blessings caught

for a moment in the trees

then released to heaven.

 

I will outlast you.

[Wendy]

Lovely. Thank you.

[sparkly jules]

You are a blessing to the world. Your words can always articulate what I'm feeling but can't say.

Thank YOU.

Yes.

[Nicole]

I love this. I want to frame it and hang it on a wall in my room for all to see.

[Charlie]

Thx Nicole!
