a piece of foil

She sits at home alone
Quietly sinking, in her comfort zone.
Loneliness feeds, her soul.
The emptiness takes a toll
No other way to go, she heads to the
Corner store.
A quick relief, to fill that void.
Her love lies in a piece of foil.
Just another hit for the day.
Takes her to that private getaway.
Brings her to higher heights,
No transportation needed, to take this flight.
Where she goes, nobody knows,
She finds elated peace. To Devine to define..
Trapped in a cruel body, that's just doing time.
Embodiment of her being, left behind.
Slowly descending, back to her destination.
Reality is not, her intention.
Comes back home, sitting alone
The door slowly opens
"Honey I'm home"

I recall when I was getting better, after being bedridden...I moved to the village from a farm, because I could visit the shops, all six of them and a vets. Sometimes just a word, is enough....Thank you Cherry for reminding me....Kathyteddybear

What a poignant write my dearest Cherrie. The elements of truth expressed can't be truer than to most of us. In a ways whatever makes us glide day after day on this life and with ease, is what it takes. So be it. The bottom line no one is harmed or hurt I guess. I am never judgemental but I can only hope that whatever actions we bear is of no malice and harmful consequence to those that are close to us and the world. Love it my friend.teddybear bouquet gift heart beating heart wings
