Lately it’s been getting cooler and cooler. The windows get closed tight. There is still a draft so then the door gets closed. The room is shut tight. People try and enter the room but the room’s shut tight. The cold air cannot get in. It takes too long to get the room warm.
The people still try to get in. The rooms still cold and it seems to be getting colder. But its shut so tight, where is the cold coming from? The room gets dark, now the air becomes a little stale. The cold can not be getting in anywhere, no way in, the rooms shut tight. Where’s the warmth. Why is it not getting any warmer?
The people still try to get in, the air is now old and the room seems smaller and darker. Where is the warmth? It has to come; its so damn cold now, why is it so fucking cold? Why is the cold getting in? Where is it getting in? The curtains are closed, the room is dark, and there is no air.
The people still try to get in, they push the door, and it won’t budge. They knock and knock; no answer. They go around the room, they push the window, they pull the window; nothing. Should they give up? They should; the rooms shut tight. There seems no way in.
They try again, they slide the window, and the window opens. They knew there was a way in. The fresh air fills the room, the curtains open and the light rushes in. The door opens; the room seems larger, brighter.
The room gets warmer. The windows are open, how can this be? The windows are open and the air outside is cold, but the room gets warmer.
The windows are open.
Wonderfully written mate and very touching.
ReplyDeleteKinda sounds like my bedroom. The metaphor certainly wasnt lost on me.
Sometimes the cold comes from within.
Here's to your continued warmth :-)
Amazing post. I can relate.
ReplyDeleteDenny - Thanks Mate... I always try to remain warm, sometimes the cold front can be a little hard to avoid :)
ReplyDeleteSlim - A lot of the time the cold is definately from within and very hard to turn on the heater... It helps to know though that there are people who will open the door and switch on the heat when its needed :)
Thanks Steph
