Lines
I'm surrounded by the lines
that guide me all around
On the sidewalks lines are formed that
crisscross all though town
A highway system flows along
with lines to guide the cars
and with imagination lines
make pictures in the stars
Lines will often form a letter
words will then appear.
Cued up lines of people signal
fun at county fairs
Then there are the lines I see
were someone's life is traced
On homeless women in the doorways;
lines upon their face.
each line a memory of the days
when they were young and spry
when dreams of love and family
would glimmer in their eyes
A high school prom; a girls first kiss;
the boy who lived next door.
every line a story when her life
meant so much more.
now there are the new lines that
will form with every breath
until that final line appears
that wraps her in her death
Then a line is formed on earth
where finally she'll lie
i wonder if a line will form
of friends to say good-bye
I'm surrounded by the lines
that guide through time and space
and wonder if lines lift me up
or drop me in her place
