Angela Crabtree Poet Rhyme

Sacred Space

I had no interest in anything
and let others seize control
I left home with only a suitcase is the scary thing
and sought refuge with friends who accepted that role

I wasn't a gold mine digger
but I was digging for gold
not looking for something bigger
though it found me when I was cold

Lately I've improved
I've been decorating some rooms
I made a friend without nervousness I proved
twas a relief to be without costumes

I can feel myself concentrating
as I'm writing this down
It feels right not to be as foggy as I concentrate here
maybe I'll be able to smile not frown

I may have spoke too soon
but it's my duty to replace
the things I now consider precious in tune
with my dreams of sacred space

Jennifer Proxenos January 23, 2021 at 3:58 AM Friends can sometimes be more like family. Moving into the unknown with just a suitcase was brave, but I can sense from your poems you are a very strong woman. Well penned. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. Angela Crabtree January 26, 2021 at 1:09 PM Thank you, Jennifer. I appreciate it :)

Lindsay Laurie January 22, 2021 at 8:21 PM Hello Angela … it does come to a stage when one gets a crazy mixed up feeling without knowing what’s ahead, but given time finding that sacred space can be achieved - thank you Angela - Lindsay Angela Crabtree January 26, 2021 at 1:08 PM Thank you, Lindsay. I appreciate you reading and commenting :)

Akkina Downing January 22, 2021 at 5:02 PM I can relate to this when I left my tiny island in the South Pacific to NY. Such move I still can’t believe I did it. Some scary moments I look back and amaze how I am still here... I’m glad you’re doing ok though... hugs Angela Crabtree January 22, 2021 at 7:05 PM Sometimes venturing into the unknown can be scary but I believe in the end it teaches us things that we would have been oblivious to if we hadn't chose that path. Thank you, Akkina for reading and commenting. Hugs back :)

Vijay Pandit January 22, 2021 at 2:05 PM I like the positive turn towards the middle of the poem, Angela. You describe someone who was lost but now has found the way--not uncommon occurrence. Angela Crabtree January 22, 2021 at 2:17 PM Thank you, Vijay :)

Victor Buhagiar January 22, 2021 at 8:55 AM I thought you had gone for ever. Thank you for reading so many of my poem. However reading your poem give concern. You seem so sad. I prefer to see you happy. ~~ Angela Crabtree January 22, 2021 at 1:12 PM Thank you, Victor. This is partly fiction. I am happy. I had to take a break for awhile from writing. Hope you have a great weekend :)
