Silent Words to Soft Walls

Dampness can't elude me this morning,
the dark to grey soon to be my day.
Clouded memory makes one day
no different than the next and
the sleeplessness continues.

Sometimes I think that starting over
doesn't feed the need, turning my back now
on those open possibilities,
those that open and close at another's will.

The day will unveil the building of another wall,
softer than in the past, but one that allows me
a little more bounce and less headaches
when banging against it.

Silent words to reflect upon, my own business
minded by no one now, but me.

M

================================

clever use of metaphor and theme..
a bittersweet sharing...we build walls and look for soft places to fall....
well done Poetess Maureen.

walls or wallless the heart feels the same inside tho we may try to hide it, we cant build enough to pad ourselves it seems

Maureen -- your expressioned flowed really well.  Gray at least has shades of light!  Hope you have a good day.

Janet Marie, I have decided I will wait until my life situation improves and I have more to offer someone than just who I am, maybe then I will have more control over my  life...and won't need those walls whether soft or hard to bounce off of.
Thank you, I probably didn't even give a thought to it being a metaphor

Sy, a somewhat better sign than that of yesterday

Dixie, I am not so sure I am ready to fly yet...and starting over is tiring at my age  

Michele, I am just trying to relieve myself of more tension than is necessary at this time with my sister...it is always nice to know you can count on someone to listen and advise but then again maybe it is asking too much of some...  thank you for "listening"
hugs
M

iliana, not too much light here today.but that's ok, there is always tomorrow~~~
