Too much soil and debris fill this space
Spring cleaning is much needed
Get out that broom and bucket
Get to work scrub the past away
The rubbish that is harmful and in my way


Take down those drab old curtains
Shake all the dust away
Throw them in the washer to cleanse
Hang them when you feel like
on some other kind of day

Sometimes it takes a messy house
to realize there are many things to be done
Get rid of those old cobwebs
That seem to gather when not looking
Air out this place, and let shine the sun

How true it is... Cleaning; it is the most frustrating work of all, and you have brought it out very beautifully.

A lovely poem, it does take that gradual accumulation of dust and cobwebs (or apathy and negativity) to make us realise just how much we need to get up and do something about it, whether it be the literal cleaning of our house or a spiritual cleansing of our body.

A lovely work of wisdom as well as poetic anology. Guess u could say that about a lot of things in life. Assessment can be a most valuable arbortraitor in deciding what goes and what stays. I love that loft picture wanna rent it out lol. Make a hell of a recording studio. Beautiful work my Sister Laura.

((((Peace2u always))))

Oh wow! I'm doin' a bit o' that spring cleanin' 'round my place gittin' ready for visits from Butch Howard 'n' Spike who's comin' in October. Remember Butch? He's comin' to my place June 5th. This wonderfully written piece seems to meet both the physical 'n' metaphysical of life. Great work, Laura.
