Closed Heart




There's a door over there no one uses any more.

Some have forgotten it exists.

The locks were changed.

 Dust moved in.

Not even a strong wind could get you in.

The keeper cries, occasionally.

For once she shared the beauty that was within.

Till she learned it must be hidden.

Now, she waits!

No tears to shed, no laughter to hear.

Everything good is gathered ~ in there.

No one knows what she waits for.

Maybe, not even she.

Maybe a day when she might find, courage to open the door, and leave the key behind?

Maybe someone good will see.

All that she was meant to be.

But, till then she guards the door.

Never asking for anything more.

Who is strong enough to see,

The girl who hides behind a golden key?

Wow, what a great poem. This sounds so much like me. It's hard to be yourself completely at times, especially when others trample on you without care. But I still step from the golden key and take my chances because I can't live in fear and lose out on those who don't hide behind their keys.

Life

A fish who longs to be in water A bird who can not wait to fly A snake who wishes to recoil  A mole searching for better ground Sky so lifted to give space Moon afraid to show his shape Hides behind a blanket of night Stars blink to share their light Oceans anger crashes down Beaches lying with the sand Rocks climb to stand tall Wind watches them all fall  Mountain tall enough to roar Let loose his inner being Earth was burned to begin again. Gave life back to the living.

I'm not just a Mark

 I'm not just a Mark. I'm a Book Mark. Have you heard of them?  They are all the rage. They take you so many amazing places. They are highly revered, some not so much, but that's the beauty of the Book. There's something new in each one. From start to finish, and in between an adventure to go on,  a mystery to solve,  a lost love to cry over. Then this is where I come in... I Mark the spot.  Whenever you need to, grab a cup of coffee, a tissue, use the Bathroom...there I am. To keep your adventures right where you left them.
