Permanent Address For Kelley I’ve listened at this door for years For so long only passing interest in what there is within Just one of many along the tired street Some of the others have been opened to me And I’ve lodged within for a time But always there was rent due that I could not pay Or the room was ill furnished But this door has of late intrigued me So tightly shut With only a small frosted window I can see there are shapes within And sometimes I hear the sounds of laughter But only the echoes of words Not long ago I began to see How finely this door was crafted The carpenter cared for this one No joins are apparent The hinges well hidden And only the finest leaded panes The finish has been applied lovingly in coat after coat So that this door seems to be ten miles thick So far away is my reflection Beyond this door must be a fire on the hearth Warmth for the one who resides there Beyond this door must be a lamp A light by which to read and write Beyond this door must be a home But I am once again a vagabond This is not the door to my home But I will keep on knocking Sing while you may |

"Beyond this door must be a fire on the hearth Warmth for the one who resides there Beyond this door must be a lamp A light by which to read and write Beyond this door must be a home But I am once again a vagabond This is not the door to my home But I will keep on knocking" this is fantastic... |

This is excellent! I love the symbolism. I too, have wandered, seeking a home. Luckily, My home was found..... Wonderful piece. Due to circumstances beyond your control, you are master of your fate and captain of your soul. |

Thank you for the kind words. I'm not one for free verse much but I do like this one.(it's important to like your own work, right?) But best of all, this is Kelley's favorite. Of course, she still hasn't opened the door....yet. Thanks, Ian Sing while you may |
