I crumble paper to balls
And become a basketball star,
With trashcan hoop in the hall
Maybe I placed it too far.

I crumble writings to balls,
To become toss away thoughts,
That litter into the hall,
There was a meaning I sought

I crumble into a ball
Tearless sobbing in my heart,
And I go to clean the hall
At least at that I can start.

I just could not reach what sought
A bigger can should be bought.

Just stop throwing away so much of your wonderful writing. Sorry...I just couldn't resist saying that. Very well done. **hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

you crumble your paper, your writings, yourself...picking up the could-be thoughts and tossing them away..I reach in and read between the lines, what could have been if only...
