No one can step into another's shoes.
Would you want to?
I know I wouldn't.
Mine are enough to make my head spin at times.
My shoes have walked many paths...
Some ending with stunning vistas,
with laughter and happiness.
Some lonely,
with self-pity, self-doubt.
Some heart-breaking,
with pain and tears.
You know nothing of my shoes.
I know nothing of yours.
Shall we walk together?

Eyes Half-Closed, Flame Half-Lit: A Riverside Morning Blues
Eyes Half-Closed, Flame Half-Lit: A Riverside Morning Blues I woke up today intending to write a "purge story" something to drive the Shadow Man spirits out of the corners. But the system was not ready for the dark, so I ditched the ghosts and looked at the sunshine instead.

Incredibooks: The Masked Duet Series
So my best friend who loves the crazy world of reverse harem books put me on to this author named Reese Rivers and a two part book series she put together called the “Masked Duet”. The series is made up of two stories titled “Dance Butterfly Dance” and “Burn Butterfly Burn”.

Aww, I love it.
I love how this ends: “shall we walk together?” ✨💖
Nicely worded! Well done!
Aww, this is a perfect poem to wear on your jacket or hand out on a card to people (of course some might be rude and insulting back).
This is a wonderful piece. 💓💓
