Another night spent
alone and pondering this
abstract thought and woe

she sits in her small
living museum - every
thing with a meaning

a purpose for just
existing in its space. Thick
tights and a jumper

dress keep her warm. A
messy hair-do and painted
nails. Halfway ready

for anything. She
ponders if she is in fact
ready for her life

                       to really begin.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
