(devoid of origin)
Eighteen hours past
twelve hours worked
my destiny reached...
As I faltered behind
the wheel, insomnia easing,
eyelids giving up to sleep
there it was...
A two story dwelling
proudly resting on
the hill's crest.
Setting upon virgin soil.
Surrounded by nature's beauty
an aura hynotizing any passerby
to enter her abode.
Greeted by Goldie, a frail
pixie, up in years welcoming
strangers into her lair.
"Come in, take your clothes off
invite your friend. Come, come
we'll sit and talk a bit.
Tommy isn't home right now
my dear.
A cup a tea, apiece of pie and
shortly he will arrive."
She spoke softly of years gone by.
Of losses, gains and simplicity
of style.
Of Alfie, Robert, TJ and Tommy.
Her furnishings original,
plain lines in sets.
Each room was empty
of clutter; yet...
The pantry stocked with
home-canned goods and a fresh
baked pumpkin pie.
(was very pleasing to the eye).
The musty odor of old merged
with the aroma of home-baked goods
blended with the outer exterior of
an Eden amidst the...
woods.
a sense of beauty, of old and new, wistful... nice poem. eric
Ummm I think I read these backwards, but this is a nice earthy piece, awakens the sensory.
I liked the homey images here. An interesting mix of images!
