I'm locked in this insanitorium Waiting for the day that I can go Behaving like a fish in an aquarium Doing all those things while I'm on show Joining in the groups that they call therapy I watch as life goes past my barred window Playing all the games of petty tyranny I eat and sleep, wait for the time to go Practicing my verbs by doing crosswords Finding clues that dwell within my mind Looking out the window at the 'free as birds' Seeking out a place that I can't find Time goes by within the sanatorium Moving sometimes fast and sometimes slow Waiting till the medics move in quorum Watching for the time that I can go Sitting in a jacket that's too big for me Watching others dribble as they drool I must be freed from this blind insanity Knowing I can't leave for it's the rule Practising my wicker working daily A vacant smile will hide my perfect plan Designing a hemp rope to leave 'old bailey' Soon I'll be free I will, I'm sure I can Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

  (big hugggssssss) This is such a powerfully haunting poem, sweet friend, I too wish you to be free and to find all the stillness your heart deserves! (kiss on cheek) This is very heartfelt, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kethry, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Sorry, James and Noah, it was meant to be tongue in cheek. Guess I missed the mark.  Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Keth darling sister of my heart and keeper of the stars shine this is an absolutely wonderful piece from you. I love it, The flow and the structure of this is excellent, You really are a fine writer. I love your sense of humour darling heart it brightens up my day. I was going to say I’ll lock you up so you will do nothing but write write write, otherwise I’ll never get you to finish the book…….. so mush mush. And don’t give me that pouty look either, it doesn’t work Excellent writing utterly utterly excellent   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |
