Conversation Piece - Wayman Tisdale

I haven’t thought about you for a while

It seemed so far away

I keep your pictures hidden in a file

Of favorite one act plays

Like pieces of myself

Cut off in desperation

As offerings to thee

I keep them on a shelf

They’re good for conversation

Over a cup of tea

I put it all down in a letter once

A letter I don’t send

It made me feel much better at the time

I thought it helped me mend

The pieces of myself

Cut off in desperation

As offerings to thee

I keep them on a shelf

They’re good for conversation

Over a cup of tea
