Friday Original Poem

Last Friday we began our new schedule of posting an original poem every week! Today's poem is from Regina. She wrote it in a poetry therapy session. It is an ekphrastic poem meaning it was inspired by another art form and in this case a photograph. 

Open

Shuttters open,

invitation to look out at

a spring offering.

Open for oppurtunity,

 for light to burst through,

create a place to bathe

in the day's goodness.

And yet,

I keep a pane

of glass between us.

Uneasy at the thought

of opening the window.

Content with a view,

without vulnerabiltiy.

Able to distance

from a breeze of disaster

or raindrops,my tears of brokeness,

as I wait for the light to return.
