What am I if not an abandoned house, a cathedral of forgotten and old dreams, Watching others glow with life, like stars caught in crystal jars, Painted in joy, while I unravel in the silence of dusty time, The floors creak under the steps of memories, shadows dancing on the carpet of nostalgia. They say I am empty, but...

Crooked House Be content. Don’t take life for granted. Crooked house. Be you all around. Sometimes pulling weeds. Complaining, don’t feed. Through harvest. It's a test. Be concontent. Each day is a gift. Sometimes down in the valley. Count your blessings. Short on change. That's O.K. Grateful anyway. Down to earth. Don’t ask for much. ...

If I could, I would kiss your green and living lips with words take the notes of garden birds and wrap myself in song bend the trees and bid them do my written will, caress your honeyed stones to better hear thy whispered tune, held within my grateful arms from thatch to cobbled floor safe inside your ancient door and mullioned...

"Paint with paint or paint with words." By Poet As a small child I loved to paint, finger paints brought my plain paper to life. As a teen my painting moved on, on to painting by numbers. In our first house I painted the many walls. Paints come in many pretty colors, some very bright like the sunlight. Paints can come in pretty...

Around every corner In every nick or cranny The detail Oh the detail Every worry, Every ounce of stress Flows away, the smell smells like freedom It looks all so calm It's like a time machine once you open the door Every texture, Every line, Every room It is like you are living in another realm It feels so still but yet so...
