let the mind journey
its walkways an open book
many lessons learned
Word/expression of the week – cloister- (noun) – a covered walk in a convent, monastery, college, or cathedral, typically with a wall on one side and a colonnade open to a quadrangle on the other. Synonyms – walkway, corridor, aisle, arcade, loggia, gallery, piazza, stoa.
Cloister – (verb) – seclude or shut up in or as if in a convent or monastery. Synonyms – confine, isolate, sequester, seclude.
The quiet rhythmic monotone of the wall of logs fills one with the rustic peace of a secluded nook in the woods – Gustav Stickley
tales
of yore
sequestered
reasons unknown
yet traces of truth
hard-spent days in yonder
revealed anonymous minds
imagined but merely figments
illusional and cloistered secrets
left behind unwrapped and not rewarded

You have packed so much in a tight composition and structured format. I read the last 4 lines 2-3 times to absorb the impact.
A masterful punch in the mind!

Eugenia,
Hmm, ‘Cloister’ is an odd one and right now I’m not feeling any inspiration but I’ve said that before to only have words come together unexpectedly. You did a fine job weaving your poem. I’ll give this some time to roll around in my head. 😉
