PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

such beautiful upheaval

our entire lives

strewn about a basement room

scattered

for the moment

in boxes galore

our nest being patched and perfected upon

this bird could not be happier to soar

eagles are we

together

with a sparrow's grace

so many possessions though

seem to have we

being shifted from place to place

home at last

our new true own home

our mutually soft place to fall

only 7 days in with 3 more left to

fill

then this transitory shuffling from

apartment to house will alas

be over

joy is answering our door

at even the tiniest hint of a knock

proof that there is beauty

even in chaos........
