“Empty Shoe”
What falls with these old and sharply torn tears
dares the unknown with all former lost years;
splintered, hidden, they swept into dream fears
Seems that no one but she, heard the cries, secrets, lies;
All gutted right through like someone’s old empty shoe;
A forsaken, split heart etched with Shadow Times dues.
Hidden years keep memory caves deep so well
Sighs recede, feelings lost find places to dwell.
Would some ever wish to express a farewell,
Tis within these dark walls that sole member may dwell.
No homes, no people, or vacant scars depart.
All falls back into slumber till the new one may start.

There’s a thought that time heals all wounds. Time doesn’t heal anything. We heal ourselves; time just gives us a couch to lounge on while we recreate ourselves…. Beautiful workings, as always, Linda……… Your heart carries a gold pen! ~ Love, Bobbie

Time and healing and mending and living–how often symbolized by a neglected empty shoe that no longer fits!
