Conjuring up sights to fill the mind
days of long ago or those to come
eradications of now at any price
she spins her fables for the world
never letting anyone close enough
to see the pain so well hidden
underneath the banners of words.

Into the dark hours she writes
locking out the possibility of dreams
for in them rests her truth
the restless nights repeating endlessly
until the light of morning again rescues
she cleanses away the night
then dons her gown of the carefree
to take on the world one more day.

Donning her gown of carefree....yep, that's what poets do. I think God at time for having an outlet where I can put my troubles tucked away somewhere as I create and write of hopes, dreams and whatever worlds I care to create.

Beautifully portrayed, Marcia
