"But I have promises to keep, and miles to go - before I sleep."
-Robert Frost


As children we dreamt of redemption,
the day when we'd leave this place.
Seclusion had no place
in a child's world,
and the mountains of nothingness
held a loose embrace.

They say those are the days to remember,
but now, with no welcome to the day,
I sit bound to my lawn chair,
awaiting the copper sun,
for I shall never leave this place.

The author's comments:
I wrote this based off of a picture of my mother in her teen years in a trailer park. She lived there a bit, and her tales of the place she regarded as a "safe haven," inspired me to write of her reflection on her safe place.
