House Of Leaves Raised from siblings with ears still wet their mother wallowing in mud from where frozen and the thawed first met yearning, grasping for shadowed sun to young to wonder what life is to wild to know how to run as the land soils the air dries and they grow, inexperience their breath nourishes summer skies Learning, branching, reaching for more together they stand forming walls dividing to open the door strong, majestic, solid as oak now wearing the bright fall fashions almost ready to shed there cloak like birds trying to leave the nest one by one they fall to your feet starving to fly, to seek the best And empty the House will soon seem barren, drafty you would believe but not after a Wynter's dream warmth and caring will come your way what was lost will always be found making the House stronger someday hard to realize, even to see each season gives back life together and separately |

Learning, branching, reaching for more together they stand forming walls dividing to open the door Some really good lines and images...well done. |

enjoyed your warmth of words, especially of Wynter's dream *s Mauren/Wynter herself "The worst prison would be a closed heart". |

Thank you Wynter ... I had hoped you would read this. I couldn't help but edit the spelling of winter, the passage made me think of you as I read your post the past few days. Its good to dream. Thank you for your comments. |
