In My Shoes

Oh the miles walked in these shoes...

forty-five years of change.

 

Seasons fading in and out,
carried away by swift winds
on ocean tides,
to empty spaces.
Where all that remains are
snapshots of chosen moments,
embalmed in hourglass sands
marking the continuous movement
of time.

 

All the rest get's swept away
with the dust covered debris
of another yesterday.

    Shelly,

    I'm snowed under with life and labour at the moment - but I had to steal a while to visit your pages - and I just can't believe your rate of development and sheer volume of output! This is just brilliant!

    ......where all that remains are
    snapshots of chosen moments
    embalmed in hourglass sands .....

    ......the rest get's swept away with
    the dust covered debris of another
    yesterday .....

    These are wonderful, image bursting, lines that put me in my shoes too!

    It's going to take me a while to catch up with your other recent works - but I'm sure it's going to be worth it!

    Love, Kx
