Open Spaces

I am a little bleary eyed today - had a fantastic but late night with my writing group last night....subject matter this week was "Open Spaces".

I feel it all

closing in around me

sharp painfully bright

flickering lights

loud deep

resounding noises

my mind needs to get

away

for a break

from this

urban concreted jungle

steps are taken

at the threshold

I walk again

that well worn

path

At that turn

I go left

haven't tried that before

the noise

those loud piercing

shrills

laughter

and manufactured

cacophany of full time

life's party cheer

still feels so close

around a corner

and past a little shrub

it's there my feet find

this wonderful scene

my mind has at last

perchance

stumbled upon

the most magnificent,

the most amazing

of open spaces.

This is our park...straight across the road & it goes on forever.....I love its wide open spaces.

Have a fab weekend, get out in some open spaces & enjoy!!!
