moving...forward...

i admit
the tears
are falling...
it's not
that we didn't
know
it was coming
we have been
under a dark cloud
since september
in this building our
 two businesses
occupy
on mayfield road
one bearing my
 creative name
we have been preparing
for this moment
for some months now
just in case
but we have been
in denial too
until late this afternoon
when
 correspondence arrived
telling us
we have three days
to vacate the premises
i know in the end
good things
will come of this
in the meantime
we have a lot of work to do
yards and yards
of fabric to sell
so i shall
 dry up my eyes
pray deeply
for our landlords
our future
and march forward

Jill Polk Joyce- what a roller coaster the past few months have been for you at the shop! Your outlook on change you recently shared with me resonated with me personally and I'm sure it's in your head and heart right now- "everything happens by design"
