Cold

Katie B.

                   Cold

Traversing the crunch of the gravel road

Trees grow over the drive

Touching at their bough

Creating an evergreen arch

A stately dwelling

Imposes in fields that unfold

I imagine life is luxurious

Dining on Wedgewood China

Blue and gold

Lounging on a red velvet sofa

Meandering through

Spacious rooms

That swallow

Living a refined

Tailored existence

I wonder

Do they too get cold

      Thank you and yes I agree we all suffer. But the image wealth projects sometimes gives me the idea they don't suffer. Maybe it's a good disguise.

        You are welcome Katie there suffering is often different in nature.
