My life
is sealed
in long-ago rooms
packed into forever boxes
and stacked in the someday closet
Linked to Imaginary Garden with Real Toads where they asked for micro poetry using the phrase “long-ago rooms” from Maya Angelou’s poem “When You Come”.
Oh my, I do love this,,

The someday closet. I like that. I had a friend who used to say, about certain mishaps, “Put it in your hope chest and hope your hope chest burns.” think I like the someday closet better, though that carbonized hope chest served me well. 😉
