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

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.

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

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

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 :)

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.

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. ~~

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 :)
