In the wee hours of morning
I open the door
To a once ever dark room
Filled upto the brim
With years of solitude.
What was it that I was looking for
Amidst the broken frames
And fogged up glasses
Maybe the poetry
That each of them hide
In the shroud of darkness
Just beyond the reach of light.
I love this image:
“dark room
Filled upto the brim
With years of solitude.”
I imagine most poets would see themselves in it.
