He’s solid rock under my feet,
breathing room for my soul.
– Psalm 62:2
..
The day she found her heart
to be an uninhabitable room
(small, dark, stifling)
a cage of her own wild
………………making
a closet full of bones
(too many nicks,
knacks,
not enough quiet)
.
,
.
……………she moved
(heaven and earth)
…….(sky, and sigh)
and gave herself
some new chambers
………….to call home.

Beautiful!! ❤
As she ought! I like the very positive message of you poem.
It’s really transforming when we allow ourselves to drift into “new chambers to call home.” Love those words, De.
I like the spiritual take on this. Her heart was wise to seek another home!
I love this. My heart doesn’t work; it’s destroying me. So it must be time to move myself into God’s heart. Beautiful.
Love the quote (amazing we thought of it), and the transformation in the second part ~ Very inspiring to read De ~
THIS is WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!! My fave response to the prompt. Awesome work!
Oh yes, “she moved
(heaven and earth)
…….(sky, and sigh)” big smile
thank you for this! spiritually playful
Beautiful perspective, De, and so uplifting. Truly if our heart has room enough to grow and become habitable to others that’s all we need. And love that title!
A perfect perspective… too many people are suffocated by their own heart.
kudos to her will and courage…she had to Li(ea)ve….
“…a cage of her own wild
………………making
a closet full of bones….”
These are lines that carry a back story not there.
I loved the use of the words heart….and then new chambers to call home…..the heart does indeed have chambers. Can be read in so many ways.
I enjoyed this one very much!
Yeow. This is so layered. I love how to took the prompt to the metaphoric level. Quite effective, De.
I love that her heart is an uninhabitable room”. Nicely done, De.
I love the way the room and heart link it really works so well and so glad she moved!
Sounds like a good move to make. Peace, Linda
