Moving Boxes piled everywhere Here I am doing it How will I ever find Where to put everything Stacked in the middle floor Each room becomes cluttered Black marker tells it all Living room, kitchen, hall All that’s left is bedroom All else is stacked there Hiding the bed from view I’m too tired for dreams Find a space to curl up Grab a blanket comfort Eyes close from pure fatigue Darkness captures the mind The sun brings a new day Smiling I look forward Claiming each space as mine The first time on my own Joy fills my soul with glee A dreamers hand I have Wall will shine with nature All my dreams come to life Moving is so much work But in the end it’s right Wind blows and spirit soars I create my own world Karen Mc Neil September 14, 2012 *may our dreams ever be magical* |

Ah, Karen, you may be too tired to dream, but you aren't too tired to write your lovely poetry and come here to post it. I'm so happy for you that you have found that home to call your own. Congratulation. The poem laid it all out as you are living it. Boxes on top of boxes. Yes, indeed. Been there. done that. ~*~ If they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Joy fills my soul with glee A dreamers hand I have Wall will shine with nature All my dreams come to life I know moving is exhausting, both mentally and physically... but I can already picture the beautiful home you'll create with your dreamers hand. *S* |

quote: And therein lies all the magic, dear Karen! You have the right idea. How nice that you came to share your life-changing move here with us. Wish you all the energy you need to get things done, step by step. Joy and gratification will manifest while you are busy "creating your own world". This is a very dynamic poem.  Love, Margherita |

Karen: been there; rather not do that again! This part especially caught my attention: "Hiding the bed from viewI’m too tired for dreams" for the myriad of subtle possible implications, intentional or not... Here's to rest, effort, and vision! -MVS You CAN make a difference, but first you should learn how: |

I hate moving but sometimes it can be a very good thing in the long run. A whole new adventure. Ida |
