Concrete Castle

Sitting tight in my concrete castle
Not sure if to venture outside
The sun is bliss this fine morning 
Moods lighten in sunlight

Calm is my morning contemplation
Drinking tea with eyes barely open
A house of silent awakening
Ready to explode into life

Forgetful of the troubles around me 
For a moment ignorant in bliss
Trying to hold this feeling sacred
As a world apart from what is 

A creak to show intrusion
My words hidden from question
Taking a part of me silent 
Into a world I try to escape 

Gently I venture to confident 
My words again take shape
Sitting tight in my concrete castle 
I’ll stay until safe into night
