Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Hibernation

I shut the door
And drew the blinds
Let the phone ring
Every time it rang
I couldn’t bear
To play charades
I needed time alone
With the darkness
Of my depths
Rebuilding strength
Thru the winter
Of my mourning

Timothy Mcguire April 29, 2019 at 6:44 PM Pull the covers over your head and when YOU are ready open your curtains and let in the light you need. Remember there are people who love you when you are ready. Line Gauthier April 29, 2019 at 8:46 PM Lovely comment, Timothy. Most appreciated.

Kim Rodrigues April 29, 2019 at 3:29 PM My church friend died and I know her husband needs time to process. He is attending his previous church for now. Have you lost someone recently? I love what your poem teaches...for some just need to be left alone for a bit. Line Gauthier April 29, 2019 at 3:42 PM Just going through things and time alone is scarce these days. Thanks for checking in, Kim.

M. L. Kiser April 29, 2019 at 3:20 PM That's the way I prefer to deal with it. A well penned, "winter of mourning". Line Gauthier April 29, 2019 at 3:41 PM Thanks, ML. Most appreciated.
