A Work In Progress...

in his mind's eye, he contemplates

ever so cautiously the clay before him

then with deft hands of an artisan,

he gently explores and ponders the possibilities,

albeit from afar, this new medium he lovingly calls

his Sweet Texas Girl

over and over again in his mind he

turns, repositions, then plans

in anticipation for the day he will

throw this piece of clay

onto the potter's wheel

molding her, shaping her into a work of art,

an exquisite masterpiece

for all time

to be admired, loved, and cherished

like none before her

Oh what a pair we made, once upon a time...

You and I are like a pair of well worn socks - a little stained, somewhat out of shape, and riddled with holes that beg for a good mending and some much needed TLC.

During the daylight hours, we functioned well as a team, you on the right foot, me on the left. Somewhere along the way, life happened, and we were tossed ever so effortlessly into a pile upon the floor, hoping that someone would tend to our needs, perhaps lessen the stains or mend a few of the holes while taking extra care of those in our souls...

Then comes a time where we find ourselves in very different places, perhaps you with another mate, tucked neatly into a drawer after having been thoroughly washed & mended, while I on the other hand find myself alone in the world but still filled with purpose and life, albeit with a few seemingly unmendable holes...

What happens next in this journey called life is up to each of us as we take one day at a time and hope for the best for both of us.
