Description
Back in 2004 when I was first starting to learn about webpages and Paint Shop, I belonged to the MSN groups and met this lady named Snayke. She gave me permission to post her poem on my website and it has stayed with me for all these years. Then a few weeks back Deane put up a picture similar to this one and Snayke's poem came flooding back. This is for you Terri.
Shelf

isn't it funny
she thinks to herself
how i've come to be perched here
on this dusty shelf
like a book full of secrets
no one's ever read
in a somnolent hall
a sealed vault of cold lead
isn't it funny
how they'll point from afar
with hearts of formalin
they'll dissect these scars
if for only one moment
they could be where she's been
they could not turn those heads
and deny what they've seen
it doesn't feel funny
she thinks through her tears
that she's wandered so helplessly
all these long years
to embrace what is left
when the fire's smoke has cleared
and she finds her arms empty
but for judgment of peers
it doesn't feel funny
to admit where she's failed
to reach out yet again
and pray breathe unassailed
but the secret still whispers
and ignore it she can't
for the music's still playing
and the soul...
needs the dance
"isn't it funny..."
and she pushes away
from the darkened old shelf
to rejoin light of day.
