All Along
I dreamt a dollhouse,
Pale vanilla siding
Unfurnished rooms
Pink shutter'd windows
With aquagreen trim;
There were no walls
Beyond the door
(as most go, but it's
different looking out),
As though the house
Itself was a doorway
Between two worlds
When straddling both.
I awoke perplexed
As to a meaning
That shadowed me
Into the deep soil of evening.
Later, when lighting
Incense and the white candle
atop my writing desk,
I realized tomorrow...
Or even years from now
When it reveals itself,
I will have already known
The message all along.

Thank you; I do. An antique roll top gifted to me by the Universe. Keeps the creative energy pure away from my work desk.

Power always resides in that beautiful mind of yours..
"There were no walls
Beyond the door"
~the depths of wall-less space.. a perfect image of comfort..
Amazing what we 'knew all along' upon reflecting and you bring it to light wonderfully here.
missed your ethereal wit that enlightens me every time you ponder ;)
much luvin respect, LadyA..

said that I had a siege
mentality..:)

I think as a female who played with doll houses I am able to wrap my head around this totally obscure masterpiece!

I enjoyed how you wove in the paradox of taking years to learn what we've known all along. It's strange and true and beautiful.

I'm either blind as a bat, or maybe each person sees what they are meant, perhaps. Anyway, I've always preferred to wait for meanings to reveal themselves rather than look too hard. When the pupil is ready the teacher will come and all that.
Thanks for commenting.

'As to a meaning
That shadowed me
Into the deep soil of evening.' This is to be treasured. As always is such with your poems. I enjoyed your contracts collection also. Thank you for the pleasure of each read.

Well, it seems I've hit another life-
sized rough patch, but reading
this really lend'd room inside to
breathe a little. Thank you for
being you always.

A few years late perhaps .....
That's the beauty of dreams - it's our own personal language that we don't understand until we take the time to understand it; we already know what the message(s) are.
To me, the house represents a new way of life ready for you to take up residence in. Sounds way too simplified, I know.
The minitiarized aspect of it speaks to perspective. With the proper perspective, it can be a reality and not just "playing house" fantasy.
For that to occur, you have to bridge the gap between worlds by insisting fantasy and reality are one in the same - stand in the doorway of both.
