At life’s end, we’re buried
Whole yet incomplete
We leave bits of ourselves
Hearts and souls
With those we’ve loved
Hoping we fit into their puzzles
In the same way we wove
Them into our tapestries
Shrouds of memories
Faded over time
Yet unforgotten.
Bobbie Isabel is a lover of words. She spent her childhood escaping in books and finding solace in the public library. Her career in education circled around language in all its forms (spoken, aural, written, etc.), and she takes all of those experiences into account in her writing. As an adult, she finds healing in poetry, exploring themes such as vulnerability and authenticity in her poems. When she’s not writing, you can find her in the audience reveling in the language-rich environment of musical theater. View more posts
