In One’s Shoes

how many stoned paths
must be traveled with bare feet
before tears begin

~*~

audaciousness jelled
but still small chinks of living
bear against the soul

~*~

mind warring body
sagacity given heed
something crumbles soon

~*~

only one’s burden
perhaps these words will not fall
on deafest ears, mine

hmmm..... these I must consider for a bit...
the tone I percieve is one of being tired and tired of being misunderstood... and the deafest ears can indeed be our own...

hope all is well with you.... for these "feel" troubled to me...

Sometimes,Lady, we have to get off that path for a while, until the feet get callused enough to let us continue on that path...very gentle smile

I'll let ya ride on my back, if ya like!  

You do indeed sound weary...find a campsite and sit a spell....

sagacious people
always listen to their heart
then do the right thing
