Poem for this evening:


                                           Picture by Arcadia Maria


sevenling: the door

standing before the door
wondering, second-guessing,
contemplating

to enter the unknown
feeling anxiety, despair
mixed with sadness

I stand here indecisive

  1. Yes, that pause before the door, to open or not ~ Indecisive is where we are ~ Love the sevenling ~

  2. Love the sevenling form! Yes -- that indecisiveness, that space, that empty place where decisions wait to enter in. And we must choose. Sometimes the waiting itself, the anticipation, is the most difficult. The entrance/exit becomes the steps we take to move on. Great take on the prompt.
