It feels like a winter day.
Coffee to stave off harsh cold.
A cold that penetrates the very being
of a soul lost and so alone.

Stone dark alleys,
strewn with litter.
lost reminders of someone’s day
cast aside carelessly.

He has seen many streets.
Sitting on a park bench in the rain.
Conclusions never come,
a toast to all the wandering souls such as he.

Half empty whiskey bottle.
Resting half tilted in his jacket.
Well’s of soul running dry.
Tattered in a windstorm like a kite.

Jewels of better moments,
or were there any afterall?
maybe the stones never polished
the surfaces to a smooth shine.

The minute dust in strong breeze.
a leaf falling from half naked branch.
Chance is all there is.
Does he want to leave it all to chance once more?

Shel your is more than just the poetry of one
who write's merely to express her self, but that of a true artist who continue's to weave
an abundance of true beauty for the heart to
admire and love . . .

while perusing your poems tonight I came across this little gem ....and I say that in the sincerest form ..... I love the simile and metaphoric descriptions used to set the stage for this piece.... what I have to refer to as a gem ..... It brought back stark memories of my younger and wilder days, Write on my friend, david
