The Room

Long hath I sat in silence withering
A dark domain of walls and ceiling
Windows lit on mornings rising
Fade to dark on evening setting
No dream echos or laughter sings
no flower on the mantel brights
the bareness of that which is.


A forlorn existance so one might think.
'till one who enters, quick of wit
Changes it all with just a click
Now dreams unfold with pen and brush
and what once was does not exist.

    A very true feeling here. How easily we can feel better inside and how easily can our mood change. My Book 'Your Mind Your Health Your Way' says all this. So much could change if we changed our attitude.
    An excellent write dear Den. XX

    this poem (as well as its comments below) is truly eloquent... It was nice to read an entry with a classic edge to it - without having that end line rhyme. It has such wonderful tones throughout with the imagery brought here...

    thanks for entering this into the contest.

    A bare canvas where...


    Your room just waits
    for the light of your heart,
    and all of the dreams
    your quill doth imparts
    to address its dimensions
    with color and form
    to lace movement and music,
    lovely and warm,
    to give it ears
    for the stories that fall
    and life to hold dear
    what you love most of all.

    It's been a long time... lovely to see your poems again. ~ Karen

    Wash away such foolish fears
    For in my heart you're always near.
    Don't you know, no canyon wide or mountain high
    Could keep my love from thy side?
    For should it some day on a candle light
    The sun would dim compared in sight.
