Our Room

It is a room of lights —

vessels of lights

strings of lights

soft lamps

It is a room of color —

reds, mostly; also gold

and greens and oranges,

blues and purples

It is a room of creativity —

Ideas have been born here,

and children

and gifts and poems

and ardent visions

So we return here

to be inspired

to find direction

and regeneration

To feast our eyes

and rest our minds

reset our souls

before we venture forth again.
