Closed doors greet me at every turn
As I roam dark corridors
I've lost the keys to open them
--Locked rooms forever more
There was a time, when I'd fret not
For I knew that I'd prevail
That I could open any door
--My keys would never fail
But as the years sped quickly by
Those keys began to rust
I hadn't taken care of them
And they returned to dust
The winds of fame and fortune
They blew my keys away
I'd lost all sight of Godly things
And saw no need to pray
One by one the keys were gone
As I went my selfish ways
Door by door was slamming shut
--Lost rooms of sun-filled days
Now I roam the endless halls
Of this House of Cards on earth
No more shall I enjoy those rooms
Until my death--my birth

nice lesson for all os us here...
I enjoyed the read!

(big hugggssssss) Oh Linda, this is so very sad, sweet friend, it saddens me to see so many now lose their innocence when they are so young by cruel misunderstood others and give up all hope of unlocking the doors to their dreams! (wipes tears) I hope this thought is all behind now and you approach your dreams with hope, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Noah, I draw on painful experiences in my life to stretch myself as a writer. It's amazing what you can find when you dig deep. I'm actually rather an upbeat Pollyanna sort of individual. Some of my friends refer to me as Molly (Unsinkable Molly Brown). I guess you'd have to say I'm a "Polly-Molly"
tee-hee.

So, thank you for your concern. This 'angel' still has her head above the clouds and can handle whatever comes her way.

Linda,
The poem builds and builds
decks and decks and ...
doesn't collapse,
just ...
turns itself upside down and inside-out,
still standing.

In awe.

Here's a haiku response:

Plastic edges stacked
to form a house of ponder.
Gravity's hard kiss.

        dang good at whipping them up!

Interloper---Thanks! But as I commented in my
            reply to Noah, this is a stretch
            for me to write like this. I'm
            more the pollyanna type! tehe!

Enjoy your day!--I plan to!
