Space














The space I inhabit becomes smaller, more cramped with each move.
Now my home is compact, exact, and it holds me accountable.
Smaller means everything in it’s place and if it doesn’t have a place, it goes.
I try to find a way to feel okay about giving stuff away, so I give it all
to charity or to family and friends.  I don’t feel better yet.

Question of Place

How to recognize the right place for you?
Do you know when it’s time to stop looking?
If you make a mistake will there be a safety net?
How do you know when it’s time to compromise,
when it’s time to stand firm? Does it matter?

Nomad

Unexpected, now accepted
we are moving again.
Back to the town we came
from, back to a country home.

We’ll live in a white shingled
house now, black shutters with
a wrap-around porch. Home
will be open, inviting,

a full yard leads into
the woods.  There’s a fire-pit
for roasting marshmallows,
a patio with two seating groups.

Lush oaks tower over the grounds.
There’s a magnolia, palm trees,
lush plants.  They all give it a scenic view.
Theres a garage for him to tinker in

a studio to keep my paints.  But I
I didn’t expect to move again.
We’ve moved so many times.
This one should be the last.
At least, it seems like that now.
