Summertime six years ago
I settled in this space
Unpacked and put my memories
On walls and table tops
In places I found evidence
Of occupant who came before
Tiny holes in closet door
Suggest a place to hang his ties
Apartment life is transitory
I put roots down none the less
Created my new home.
These past six years began a tale
Chapters of unexpected change
So many things I used to do
No longer are within my reach
My apartment is the same
It is I who have a different view
I will re-member cherished gifts
Grieve and lay them to the side
Look out the window at the tree
Watch pink clouds at early dawn
Embrace anew life’s mystery.
Change is so very hard at times, wishing you strength and courage.
Blessings and many thanks. ❤
life, as it turns out, is ever a transition, from here to there, from now to then – I hope yours is filled with peace and grace
Thanks dearly, Paul. This one is taking me by surprise because I realize that more than ever I will be relying on grace. Blessings on your present transition.
Moving and hopeful Ina, wishing you well with your new perspective on the world.
Ah, yes, I understand.
