Deciding upon
What to adorn
My walls
To keep me content 
In case we need to 
stay in again

Thick oak-look frame 
Appearance is everything
Sandstone smiles
In the shade
Sun behind
Holding up a glorious 
Bouquet of natives
Flannel flower power
Blue gum leaves
My own arrangement 
By request
Selected anything
With white bloom
Tea tree in season
Looking like
A big cauliflower
Dried nicely
In my room
I remember

The next a mirror
Painted frame
Like retro glam
Gold and silver
Telling me 
Look at you
-How you've weathered
So nicely
In the stormy seas-
Looking at me

Another gold
Circular seal
With purple
For royalty
A lineage
When born again
Not feeling it
In fact it tells me
Yes you studied
Greek among men
Not so different
From the halls
Of Plato
Ecumenicum
Blending in
With other
Women 
Carry a Grecian
Jug on my head
So as not to attract
Attention

A bold shot of blue
Spread from end to end
Covered in blossoms
From a shaky hand
Eyes near blind
World inside
The mind of Monet
My dear almond blossom
Friend
Telling me it's time
To leave these walls 
Behind
Remember the branch
Severed at one end
Can bloom and grow
Again
