TAKING ROOTA Poem by Miss SharonCan there ever be a "happily ever after.?"TAKING ROOT Some things are meant to be concealed We've grown careful to hide misfit thoughts Like be-mittened gloves worn to shield the winter winds This is our home yet one room remains locked... Where darkness of mind has taken root And the house turns slowly around it's own remorse Old memories cling to us sticky as the toes of frogs, Our heavy cloaks wrapped tight against the cold... A worn black wing we can not shrug off Once upon a time we thought the same thoughts, Felt the same things inviting lingering kisses, fits of laughter, Bouncing and heel-clicking in a place of nocturnal harmony We HAVE heard about a place where once upon a time becomes Happily ever after, soul mates never die, spirits break their fast on love And the sickness of indifference has the decency to die **********
