TEDCast of Tears for a Torn Soul
Wet pillow case
Torn soul seam ripped
Happy in the benefit of someone
Empty like the nest of a mother bird
Tears fallen out of smiling eyes
Laugh lines accented by downward pulls
Cups half empty even when full
Measures of time expected long waits
Oh the joys of smiles from outward
As the little ones grow into blossoms
Seeds of love spawn from frigid soil
Toiled and turned by forgiving hands
Place mats set at a table for three
Dust on the shelves where clean fabric laid
Threadbare cloth neglected and shabby
Spring clean time on weary old souls
Material tears and gains of trust mislaid
Grown men broken from expectation belayed
Paths overgrown by weedy neglect
Falls leaves litter the yards of the heart

This is cool Ted, I like the repeated images driving home the feeling of someone who has completely given up.
