Soles of a Tree

“How many miles

this tree has within its limbs

branching out,

reaching forever onward

without a single foot,

many miles are shared

by shoes on a tree,

without feet as it were

left clinging tight

while suspended day and night

Hello to this shoe tree,

of a land, if only momentarily,

has been shared with me, my being, my feet.

rooted in memory you shall grow on

Be

Ah the abundance of shoes

the plethora of stories they must have

yet forever they hold their tongues

Many are the soles branching out . . . .“
