FADED BLUE CURTAINS
FADED BLUE CURTAINS
Those old blue curtains
Hung in the window
They were faded , tried and old
So many of day s
Keeping out the cold
But , standing upright
The crease in it’s purpose
Still sharp
Still true
Those faded old curtains
Kept all safe from view
Things made by pride
Valuables , and some secrets
Clover in the of dust of time
The pains and the joys
Along with the history
Of , a cry,
Blended Laughter
Made into a lie
Yes those tried blue curtain
Kept all safe
As it divided in two
The ways
Of safety from the sadness of plight
Always pulled together
Locked into place
A shield against
The outer plight
So secrets are safe
Always true
Dividing the secrets
From the truth
A truth never will know
As the days pass
And that blue is more
Faded than old
A curtain
Is just a shield
But the truth
With need that curtain
To give
All secrets unlocked
Still safe standing tall
Faded but straighter
Without a lost
