"The Mythical Window" by Lydia Barker

SF&F Picture 2 out of 2 by Lydia Barker

I wrote this when I was not in a great place. I am not a great writer by any means. please be gental. This is about a window that can be your saving grace or your nightmare. that's about it. how that you like it.

The Mythical Window

It is a doorway to the radiant light,

It is a glimpse of the deepest night,

It is a glimmer of hope,

It is a slippery slope,

It is a barred cage,

To keep hold of the rage,

It is a gateway to things unseen,

It is a hole,

In a persons soul,

Does it bring safety?

Does it bring fear?

When the monster is always near,

Do you look out?

What will you see?

If you dare to go there.

Go slowly…go cautiously…

Go in the night, to hide from the light,

So if you venture out,

Go quietly…go softly…

Trust no one,

You will just get hurt.

15 Nov 2008	Kelsey M. Graham	Loading... Wheee first comment! gives first comment chocolate cake Lupus: My only question is this: Is the Mythical Window truly a window? Or is it a mirror? Lupus, what have I told you about leaving random cryptic comments on people’s galleries? Bad girl! ahem Normally, I really don’t like poetry, but I do like this. You don’t give yourself nearly enough credit. This is my favorite piece by you... So far. Lydia Barker replies: "My gosh you are so very kind.. wow...i actually capitalized something.....oooooo.....lol...i rarely ever capitalize anything while typing. funny thing though....while writting, i near always write only with caps. such the strange and odd mind of stephanie. hehe.. sir lupus, you are welcome to come and leave as many cryptic messages as you please. just beware of my little mice running about-they bite "
17 Nov 2008	Natalie Adams	Loading... i agree - you give yourself such a bad press, this is SO GOOD - you can expres yourself with such conviction in both your art and your poems!!! Lydia Barker replies: "wow.....i’m feeling all fuzzy...hehe...thank you so very much!!!"
