Day 7– Empty Room- Haibun Journey Beauty Each Day

Today’s beauty comes from a week of hard work. The attic storage room is finally empty and some indoor outdoor carpet is over the rough hewn floor. All the old mattresses and broken fans etc. are at the dump and a load of stuff to goodwill. After moving one large shelf I lay exhausted on the floor starring at the empty room.. It made me think about all the hopes and aspirations we had twenty some years ago when we first moved in. Time for dreaming is over as I must finish sorting the rest of the small stuff.

echoes of the past
bounce off the empty walls
midwinter dreams
