I want it all!
I want the door to open
I want there to be light inside
I want the room to be full
of flowers
and questions
and neatly stacked photos and books
and seashells recalling their home
and ladies sipping their tea
in a very un-lady like fashion
and the thought of unknowing to flavor the air
and a juicy plate brimming with strawberries
and tasty cakes
and the flicker of candle light
and the brush of sand on the floor
and for a collective sigh to rise up
and escape through perfectly spaced mouths
upon hearing a vision drift in
through the up flung window to eternity.
–Barbara L. Lazarony
