Topic: Empty Room

Empty room
but filled with light
even on   a dark night
some may say loneliness
but also peace and quiet
the stillness of air
the absence of care
almost so glad
know one else here
empty room

Re: Empty Room

Tinged with an underlying sadness me thinks. Good though

Re: Empty Room

I quite agree with Phill except for one line

I think maybe it could be interpreted that you are the light - bringing goodness to the dark.
I can also  imagine this being someone stepping into their cabin on a lake - just to get away from the business of their everyday life and work.
Solace - even by themselves - kind of a recovery and re-energizing place.

proves that short verse can be as thought provoking as epic length writings.

Thanks for sharing Brian
Good one

Re: Empty Room

I agree with both comments from Phill and Jim.  This poem though short says a lot in my mind.  I agree it can be interpreted both ways, either in a negative way or a positive way.   I like what you have come up with in this one easybeat, good bit of writing.
