Leftover Shoes


I stumbled over your shoe this morning,
anger flared,
words quickly formed, but then . . .
I remembered why that shoe was there,
my part in it,
the way I loved you,
you loved me,
the rapturous walk around the couch,
down the hall,
through the bedroom door – and then,

and then . . .

I picked up your shoe,
rubbed it on my cheek,
walked around the couch,
down the hall,
through the bedroom door
and placed it beside it’s mate.

I stumbled over your shoe this morning,
right where you left it . . .
for me.

the spirit rejoices over what it has left.
