Lamp glow sanctuary
Rain and wind strike the windows
Making me so very glad I live
Inside
Some people shelter
Under bridges
Building awnings
Hollow eyes
A warning
Of how quickly the bottom can drop away
Walking on this earth
We make choices every day
To what we give the pieces of our lives
Our focus
Contrast
The black to our white
The grey in between
Living in the shadows
Of what could have been
Or learning to appreciate
The fruition of even small dreams
Steps in the right direction
The detection
Of gratitude
Traces scattered
In between
But particularly
Where we walk carefully
Eating the biscuit crumb trail
Of human endeavour
Looking to truth
Or whatever intuition tells us is the right thing to do
Inside, we build our own wombs
Effigy of efforts
Pyramids
No one will see
Yet they raise consciousness higher
Giving birth continually
Creation reflecting on itself
In perpetuity
Outside
Wind buffeting the roofs of a thousand people’s homes
Yet they live outside themselves
Sitting on suitcases stuffed full of other people’s clothes
Inside
Safe
Solitary
I lift my cup of tea
And say gratefully
Thank-you
To the powers that be
Residing eternally
Inside of me
I do like this one! : )
Thanks Widds 😊
