Unknown Unsought Unthought

Travelling down these sentences we find Unknown,unsought, unthought, but always real A home where we can rest our fragile minds The people dropped,the habits left behind. The good, the mediocre, what we steal While travelling with the sentences we find The hate that frees,the love that too close binds The heart, the soul, the body, how we feel For homes where we can rest our fragile minds The touch that chills, the distances unkind Unwished for yet demanding all the soul. Unravelling are our sentences unblind. The freezing looks,the glories undermined Ill timed,ill gotten, ills both new and old, Hedge homes where we could rest our fragile minds I have never dwelt in realms of gold; But there are many stories never told. Suffering our own sentences we find A home that welcomes, our more liberal minds.

You know Katherine, you are such a talented poet. I don't know why people aren't reading you or maybe I just stumbled on one they haven't found yet. I really enjoyed this, I like the feel of this piece and the message it sends.

Thank you,Chris.I feel surprised I wrote this!Maybe I don't make enough comments on other poets' blogs.I do it because I suffer chronic pain and writing helps me.I learned villanelles after my husband died
