Tattered Shapes

Looking into empty rooms, her eyes were filled, Memories lived in tattered shapes and played here; As she drifted back in ages past, tears spilled, Laughter echoed and childhood voices stayed here. She looked upon her care-worn hands time had billed, Reflecting on those years, how now it fades here; She would rewind the timepiece, if she but could, She’d circle back and live again; twice as good.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to rewind that timpiece so we could live our lives twice as well as before, Deb? A moving portrait of this old woman and the happier times that haunted her in the emptry rooms. Love, Carolyn
