In the huge hall of yesterdays
I thought I was dead,
Before that fireplace,covered in spiderwebs.
Found empty bags below the bed,
Even empty bags of the fearful darkeness,
Leaking like eternal rain.
Punch and kicks
I felt it in my face.
So,I sharpened my knife
To save my life.
Though already late,
Half an hour,for a renting place.
And I saw myself
Walking thru mirrors,
With names on every bed.
Freeing the tears,
Of some thoughts in my head.
Each person is but a grain of sand resting beside the sea. This thought sets the tone for Jill Eisnaugle’s latest poetry collection, Beside Still Waters.
Be safe,
Karen
