In the Rafters- Teach Me a Lesson Contest
A beach ball stuck in the rafters
Been there for seven long years
Filled with air from the lungs of a stranger
Reminiscing about their past peers
Where now still lies some pieces of me
Felt like wind passing by, but not seen
A presence waits there yet I never came back
Until returned by those with whom I'd been
Something I've done or a saying I've said
A memory held and kept by a friend
Can I find them and ask, who was I then
Those moments in life, time that we spend
Are these pieces more than the air that I breathed
A forgotten day conjured back in my soul
Someone who was once, pieced back together
From the rafters, in a beach ball, kept whole
