Shoe Box
POEM " SHOE BOX " by martin gedge
The soul is for safe keeping in the light that holds yourself
with the secrets that your hiding in the hole below the shelf
a picture book of people of the times that you once knew
your face into the distance with a cutout cardboard view
with charms and golden lockets and the rings that you adore
the lost of falling angels that use to rock you to the core
with the words that really mattered in the scenes of yesterday
are as beautiful as ever with a touch of dusty grey
the eyes of rolling magic in the laughter of your tears
the shaking holding steady for the ones you held for years
a crush that made you blush with all that giddy up inside
remember all the stories told and all the times you lied
for not a minute wasted as the world was yours to live
with the promise and the passion and the purest love to give
the first and last of everything in the burrows of your heart
and all the fun below the sun in the shadows of the dark
to some they have no meaning as we all age into old
while others they are treasures that are worth their weight in gold
and with every ticking moment and each clicking of the key
a box of life is open to unlock a memory....
