What Does It Mean

In whispered spaces,
   times shaded,
shadows sly,...
lurking there
   in dark of night,
in hidden gatherings, shy.

Leaves, and litter alike
   scattered, then cornered,
in hours consumed,..
in congested sky.

What does it mean,
   when your life becomes
blue,...upholstered,
and beaded, covered in
   papered pages, raw,
slipping slowly, bound in knots,
set aflame, as you witness,..
in awe?

SpiteFire,
You get an extinguisher. Very strong, very to the point and very good. Sy

It means perhaps that it's time to re-examine it and verify that everything's in place, eh?

Remarkable phrasing of your thoughts here lady - I love the cryptic manner you present the breath of pain in a cloak of beauty.

Excellent poem! Sometimes life has a way of confusing us, thank God, as poets we can express that, as you have done so eloquently.
