tile is a comforting cool
the ceiling has popcorn paint
with a nick in the right corner
the floor has exactly 23 tiles
don't step on a crack

the walls are papered
with a bit pealing above the molding
the base is made of wood
wood warps when wet

the door is standard
yet the reason I know
this room so well
for it locks
and offers privacy

for all the tears

Oh yes...those private places for
the tears that no one sees...

Feeling this one, Susan...

Hugs to you, my friend...

love of power the world will know peace.

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Susan, I have been in these places ever so much, sweet friend, I believe every now and then we just have to spend time with ourselves and contemplate all that has come to pass! (sigh) I send angel hugs of support your way, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Susan, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

my whole house is my sanctuary...of course being alone allows me that priviledge...and few are now allowed to enter.
