Life's Shelf - Copyright (c) 5/20/08 by Dan Sharpe.
She stands alone on the shore,
watching the harvest moon slip below the lake's black surface.
It's been a month or more,
that her empty, lonely, tired life has lacked it's purpose.
She remembers his words that tore,
and bereft her of her sense of self.
Now her tired heart is sore,
and left upon life's shelf.
