Old Clothes

Monday, June 23rd, 2008 @ 11:11 pm | What's New!

I wrestled with the past today,
like an old coat that didn’t fit.
It scratched and rubbed my skin raw,
with tearing and untidy threads.
The garment had all but lost its shape,
simply an irritating echo of what once was.
The tangled threads no longer making sense,
only still around to remind me of old pain.
I wrestled with my past today,
then in a moment
I tossed it all away.

    Once again… this could be my life. Time for that garment (both of ours) to go to a favorite charity or maybe even the garbage?
    Very well put, as always. Good thoughts to you…
