Spirit of Things
The passing time for lasting souls of fuller times and greater loves. Just empty rooms just space to fill the wind blows through moonlight glows in for months on end no curtains are drawn no floors are swept and bullock’s heart just grows and crawls. No sounds are heard but howling wind and twice a day grandfather clocks. It’s grey and white outside and forest green and morning blue and all there is behind the doors lies still, inert, a quiet hue.
Common Situations
A Chair’s Life. We’re always hoping, always waiting for that short time at which we will be able to fulfill the one purpose we were created for: be the vehicles of great writing, pleasurable reading, silent rest, smart conversation. But we still wait quietly by the bed and hope to be noticed. Life today is hectic. We get it. In these times that we are living, we have to adapt, can’t always be used as it was intended by our creators –but we’re still an indispensable part of active, creative, well-lived lives. We’ll take that. Do not sit please!
