A Tale of Bread Crumbs
He walks down the road of life
Emotions will run their course,
If by chance he falls in love
Experience none the worse.
Losing a bit of himself along the way
Life giver, designer of joy
While nurturing fanciful dreams.
Radical views, breathless cries
Tug at the strings and seams.
Glad to be giving of himself
Storms threaten, lightning flashes.
Watch out!
As he holds her down.
Alert to dangers amidst the rain
Unknowingly cause her to drown.
Another piece of him falls away
So down the road moving still
The pieces continue to fall.
Until that day he looks in the mirror
And sees not himself at all.
A ghost with nothing left to give
Enough!
He cries, turning around
To face back the long traveled way.
Slowly at first with tentative step
He seeks where the pieces now lay.
And begins to collect himself….
