Lighten Up Baby I'M Too Old For You

There was a 
beautiful woman
Too old for you
She lived
 in the energy
Of lifes worn shoe
With things to plan
And thoughts to hatch
She stayed inside
Where it was warm 
and grown...organic
Comforting and
surreal in 
the reality
Of the old souls
 leather
The walls behind her
every corner
She sipped her tea
and baked her bread
with pleasant thoughts
in her head
writing the 
healing songs
 along  life's journey
She sat in her chair
the most comforting one
and thought to herself
this is all I need
 for the moment
This old shoe 
to live in
and these walls
of leather
with tea sipped
and bread baking
writing her healing
without venturing
outside until the
time when she
felt she needed
a breath of fresh air
and a lives completion
