Pendulums

When I walked in I didn't know what to expect. Each room highlighted in light. A oral tradition. To make ourselves at home upon request. In reciprocation we do. The rooms we gather in, the ones we walk past. The objects we fill to take up space. The rooms a clear reflection of Spring. The molding painted white. I was told that some rooms are not to be visited. Everything has it's season and this isn't one of them. Placing blame on the rooms. I want to explore them most I said. The ones that go unseen. The things we rarely shine light to. The places films of dust continue to grow. These are some of the best places to go. The beauty of things we walk past day to day. The smile unknown destinations can bring. Cultivating the ideas we keep cluttered. Gasping for air. These are the rooms I want to explore most. The parts of you that you strictly keep to yourself. Only when you are comfortable to share these rooms with me. To kiss the floor with our feet. To dwell in the past staring into our future. We are the pendulums trapped inside the clock
