MAGPIE...Prompt #150


                                               Image/ Daniel Murtagh       

Thank you, Tess, at Magpie Tales....Just words today, wish I could post that lovely photo...inspired nevertheless!

 Well, as you can see, I was finally able to post the photo...angels must have helped, certainly wasn't Blogger!!



THE DOOR

Strung together,
like cheap pearls,
my moment,
my heart,
soul a grain of sand,
powerless
in the grasp of vanity.

Pride opens the door,
the breach unguarded,
transient details unfold.

Always an inner fee
when I was the wine,
when I was the rose.

    That last line is just the kick in the gut! Who of us hasn't known that feeling, when the bill comes due?

    Oh for sure- it's all those inner fees that cost so much! :)
    A very lovely write- sorry about your picture troubles- it seems it's always something with the internet- or blogger or etc! Enjoy your week!

    There is a poignancy in your poem that hits hard (certainly for me.)
    I love it.

    My dad always said; everything has a price. He also reminded me frequently to seize the day.
