Create around one at least a small circle where matters are arranged as one wants them to be…Anna Freud

 

There is so much beyond what I can see

Sitting by this window

Life, twisting, turning. coming full circle

Returning to an empty chair

 

All that I’ve dreamed

Images slowly fading

Reflections of regret

Stare back through clouded glass

 

Memories, hidden in closets

Photographs of, now silent, smiles

Rest neatly, on bureaus and walls

Reminders of pain and joy

 

All that I’ve been

All I still hope to be

Lingers in an empty chair

Sitting by this window

This has been my response to a Flicker of Inspiration Prompt #9: House from The Lightning and the Lightning Bug
