Comfy As Old Shoes...

There are places in one's life
That are as comfortable as an old shoe
Where one can feel so much at ease
Never tongue tied, nor a need to speak
Where perhaps the walls are worn and dusty
But acceptance fills the air
Where a mind can curl and rest it's feet
And a soul can breath and be complete
There are places in one's life
That are as comfortable as an old shoe
I have a place that's right for me...
And I hope that you do too....

Favorite line: 'Never tongue tied, nor a need to speak' ....comfortable silence...is there anything better? Beautiful verse as usual, Carrie ( I wish I could write free verse like this...mine never comes out right!) - Tim

Nice, write,, Carrie. I once was in a similar place, but I was in it all by myself it seems. My other half was having his cake and eating it too! I have plans to go there again-one day. Good job! Peace and love, Audrey
