Lifeless gray Filling the space I live Looking over cubicle walls To a view of day's wakening Watching as the sun shines bright Over trees and skies of blue Wishing I could be among the geese As they soar through the air But alas, I am bound To this lowly cage Until the evening comes When the sun lays to rest But soon, I will be able to bask In the warmth of the sun But for now, I must stay For dawn to dusk is a way of life In this compact little space I must call my home Fear destroys the mind, depression destroys the soul... only love and compassion may save you from death. |

I'm reading this in my gray cubicle..I understand the feeling behind this. My cube is no where NEAR a window though. The world could blow away and I'd never know it! I enjoyed your poem. |

I keep forgetting how lucky I am to have a window in my cube you well captured the feeling of being confined to a job, so that we can live. IHOPoets, bringing poetic scribes together from all corners of the globe. |

LonelyShadow~ This was a 'sweaty-palms' read for this claustrophobic reader~ I once quit a job I liked because they stuck me in a cubicle with no window ... just couldn't do it ! Compelling read when you had me gasping for breath ... well done~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

I liked your poem and could relate to the feelings expressed. Too bad so many of us spend most of our daytime hours in a "cubicle". Life is too short! Betty Lou Hebert |

Thanks, Shadow. Just a note of weird observation. My daily work takes me outside driving many miles a day among the wild horses, antelope, deer, and coyotes, of course. And in opposite kind, I actually enjoy this cyberworld and the "cubicle" I have created for the equipment. Told ya it was weird. Liked the poem, a thought provoking work. coyote |

But soon, I will be able to bask In the warmth of the sun I hope the vacation satisfies your longing. Melton |
