A Victorian Style

A Victorian Style

 

A simple Victorian style

Was the decor and the theme

And on me had impressed

That I had all I dreamed 

 

To be there content

Was satisfying and great

I worried not the extent

That things could rule my day

 

The style was deceiving

With my things all around

I became aware of the trappings

And how they brought me down

 

A price is paid I learned

For any stylish thing

Know although it’s dreamt

A heartache it can bring

      "Things" in general wc! It's great when you realize you can live without wanting "too much" - it is such freedom! Part 2 of the same lesson is learning to do things for oneself instead of paying people to do them for one.... you need a lot less money that way! If I interpreted this correctly, it hits a big chord in me. (And there can still be elegance in simplicity!)

        Thanks for your feedback Lorna. You have given me something to think about, and that is good.
