The Golden Room
by
Dina Dinsmoor
The room is lighted
sacredly in the half dimmed light
the room is tan and brown in house tonight
This is a place where one has come to live
Where one has come to die
The lamp upun the table keeps a careful eye
In the back I see a table
to the left I see a room
The table cloth is fancy
but the table is set for none
The man he goes to his bed
preparing for his sleep
The young woman has carefully
arranged things
and folded down the sheets
Respectful to keep her distance
When he needs his space
Ever by his side
When memories need to be embraced
The room is lighted
sacredly in the half dimmed light
God protects the young and old
Who seek him in their paths
