A Shoebox

There are collections in each persons life and shoeboxes seem like the perfect place to store many of those things we dont want to forget, or lose. There are times in each life where the present is too involved or too intense to allow time/space travel. Then the shoebox is all we have. Something to hold on to till and if things change. Will you share in this collection with me?

Friend,
your words sooth,
encourage, wake my soul.
The raging waters
calm to gentle eddys
and I know
I am safe.

It was time to get this one out of my back pocket and somewhere more safe.

The giant sleeps
a deep rumble
his chest heaves.

She flits about
always near
presence of body only.

The heart wanders,
walking among sunsets,
toasting warmth, fires glow.

On whisper's wings
fly timid dreams
hoping words are enough.
