In my house there are many mansions
Light and airy
Vibrant like a Van Gogh
Playing with light and dark like a Rembrandt
Pitch dark, scary, suffocating, fascinating
Perhaps a hint of a window?
Strong.
Flimsy, rattling with the wind
High ceilings, room to fly
Narrow ceilings, closing in
People live in these mansions
I am welcome in them all
I wander from one to another,
rest awhile, talk, grow restless
move on, as I choose..
Do I choose?
An endless journey through my house.

This is a wonderful poem, Poonam. Subtle, playful and full of strength!
