My Doorstep

A period of time, long ago. I'm much happier now.

Dismay,

finds my doorstep

seeps into my being,

leading to pastures of

yesteryear

brown and wilted

with age.

If the purpose be 

to examine

then I have yet to unlock the secrets,

synchronizing the outmoded timing 

of my life.

sometimes the timing is just off...and the past follows us home...knocks on the door...and we put out the welcome mat for dismay...i wonder if poets do it more than others.

your wording is really tight here...nicely done..less is more..and you as a lot with this piece...

True...poets tend to be the more sensitive types so it's very possible we get to do it more often. Thanks for your kind comments and for reading the piece.

Yes, if it's within us, locating us from without is easy. The work is ours alone, no matter how tightly locked. Thanks for stopping by and commenting, I appreciate it.

so very true.. if i ever find the key, I'm going to, let it out not in..

[Wendy Karasin]

Exactly, and you will find the key, keep looking like your life depends on it (it just might!)

I think we all go through times in our lives like this where we hear that knock on the door, glance through the peep hole, realize what is waiting on the other side is something we'd rather not invite in but we do anyway. You have described this pain perfectly in your wonderful poem Wendy. Very nicely done.
