a purple writing desk

a small cramped room

floor covered in

scattered papers

each filled with

lines and

lines and

lines

of poetry

prose

questions begging the Universe for answers

a small cramped room

walls covered in

colorful images

images that are

pictures and

photographs and

paintings

glimpses, snapshots of a life fully lived

a small cramped room

and in the corner is

a purple writing desk

pencil lines etched

into the surface,

the marks of past owners

and on it

a typewriter sits

and not a single

speck

of dust

would dare touch it

a small cramped room

for a small cramped mind

that pushes the very boundaries

of its edges

in a brave, powerful attempt

to understand

understand Life

and Love

and Living

a small cramped mind

filled with an

expansive

Soul
