Poem: ‘A Visual Portrait’

My home feels like the 4seasons’

Brings changes, fill with anticipation

Of a new joy—new hope, momentous

Significant, important,

Fill with great presence

antique, vibrant, nurturing colors

Plants and flowers blooms.

My home feels like the mood

Cheerful, light hearted,

Lonely—joyful, humorous, void

Yet, there is a presence

Calming the uncertainty:

Somewhere in the night

I hear not his or her footsteps

As I sleep in my dreams

I feel a gentle touch

As joy leap into my heart

The sun arises each day

I know I am being bless

Awake and asleep— the light shines.
