"Poems are forever floating through my mind and if I don't catch them pin them to the page they are gone forever and what good is that?"

Welcome

If we do not make room
for the unexpected
set aside a small space
extend a welcome
it will barge in
and take one for itself

probably the best room you have

the one you have filled
with your most delicate treasures
the place you have guarded
and called your very own

it will not be yours anymore

so why not leave the side door open
a soft candle in the window
two comfortable chairs ready
for you to sit and listen
and become good friends
