The Bungalow
by L. G. Figgins

Rated "G" by the Author.

On a curve where the road rounds
she sits and curves, as well,
her breast open and welcoming
to the lonely tourist, her skin
of cream with points of rouge
glows in the light and becomes
the light that beckons and warms
you out of sleep

Now, as I open my eyes, a new
life is unveiled flowing in
her graceful arcs from the hands
of the craftsman-a gift of love
and pride nestled in the rooms
The windows look out into vistas
as yet unknown, but known forever
nonetheless

Such is her mystery born of far
horizons-temples and sacred cities
transplanted to a new world
Her wood floors are jazz-aged  
and the fireplace is a holy womb
awaiting the birth of Now
On a curve where the road rounds,
I am home

Reviewed by Gianetta Ellis 5/18/2009
I love the accompanying photo. I love the soft, feminine persona that you have sustained throughout this warm, inviting piece that evokes not only a sense of 'now', but of the start point to a new tomorrow. I love "yet unknown, but known forever." It feels very Taoist. If only everyone could approach life's transitions with such artistry and beauty in the heart.
Reviewed by Dawn Wilson 5/18/2009
You have expressed yourself so beautifully in this. I especially like your last two lines.

What a captivating image you have painted of this little haven of happiness, I think we all have our places like this where heart, mind and soul can sit down put up their proverbial feet and be at one with life.

For many of us, home is where the pen is. And, Linda, from your
pen flows the mystery, the language, the mind of the true poet.

and the fireplace is a holy womb
awaiting the birth of Now....
