Sarah Flanigan - Poetry Simply Put

Here I sit
like a Lady Royal
alone in my castle
high upon my pedastal
I look down
upon life.

I view it
as one would view
a painting of a scene
familiar to them.

Somehow
though it all looks
the same to me
I can’t help this feeling
that it is all different.

It is the changing
of the minds and ideas
that one does not detect
with even the most
perceptive eye.

The endless shifting of
hearts and emotions
that one cannot touch
as they would a flower,
a stone or a pet.

It is the truth of
the day we speak of
when we quote reality.

For with each day
a new truth
is born and brought
into being.

And so,
here I sit like a Lady Royal…
for tomorrow
I may stand before one -
or I may not.
