A Lovely Shawl
by Jane E PearceSad songs drape a lovely shawl
in folds that understand,
and its fringe almost feels
like a warm familiar hand.
The notes cling and coil
around a subdued heart
like a soft cotton bandage
to sooth wounds that smart.
Its lyrics carry memories
of words long left unsaid-
sad songs drape a lovely shawl
around a love now dead.
