Somewhere... out there...

0 posted 2000-07-25 03:25 AM


OK, time to be brave and just throw one out there.
Be gentle.   )

faded hearts

faded hearts
as faded jeans
ripped and torn apart
scars of the past
remain in view
a testament of days gone by
faint colors linger
where they once shone bright
dulled by the passing of time
but beyond the scars
and colors dim
lives a spirit
which cannot be broken
for faded hearts
as faded jeans
may be mended
with patience and time

i must say this is an excellent first post...i like your simple yet effective metaphor of hearts and love as faded jeans and the hopeful promise hinted at the end of the poem

I always feel like patience is a virtue time more powerful than the stongest steel.   Great imagery.  Though if I tried to patch my faded jeans I'd wind up making a new set.

This was worth pulling up.  Those old faded patched jeans are the most comfortable, too, aren't they?  They might not look so exciting, but they're the favorites anyway.  And those faded hearts often are the ones that have the most to give, too.    Nice analogy!

Wonderful post. I really liked this one and the analogy you used. Wonderful!
