My youthful dreams walked
A thousand miles
Through your summer dust
Your jagged face pressed
Against my calloused feet
Your solitude, a reservoir
For so many unwritten thoughts
I cried the day
They covered you in black
And carried away my innocents
On the back of their empty promises
Poignant! Beautiful! Thank you for sharing both photo and poem, Jerry!
How are you doing this week?
(((HUGS))) to you and your wife
