Meditations on Curtains
Consider
the everyday magic of
curtains. They
filter light
dress a room
frame the view.
Consider too, how
polite talk can
curtain your true self
shelter your vulnerabilities
protect your soul.
Beware of one concealed behind a
curtain of deceit:
As Dorothy learned
he is not all-powerful.
He holds no magic at all.
Curtain call:
Bravo!
Take a bow!
Final curtain:
may you glide through with a peaceful soul
be rocked to sleep by angels.
Behind this golden, leafy curtain
a magical sanctuary for
whispered little girl secrets and
delicious exploration of worlds:
insects
book pages
a mind set free to dream.
