Eternity
by Janet Brice Parker → (All Poetry by Janet Brice Parker)

We're renting an old beach house for a month.

It was born in the forties as was I.

It's a shack of a place, patched up in places.

Pealing paint, worn furniture and a rickety deck show it's age.

But there is a sunroom that looks out upon white caps, bursting and reaching for the sky.

I am broken and well worn.

My insides are filled with cracked paint and ratty carpet.

But the sunroom beckons and I am allowed a view of eternity.

Nice poetic song. I can see and hear those waves crashing on the beach all day long. One water-bug am I.

That last line summemed up the mystic of this place which "was born in the forties." Loved this poem, Janet.

Despite the infirmities of age, I loved the positive outlook within your lines.

A wonderful mix of you and the place you have rented (for the winter?). Both have a wonderful patina and experience of age.

Be careful of molds when going into old places. They can make you sick. Nice view you have described.
