A Simple Brown Shirt

by ImmerRDA

It was a simple brown shirt made of homespun material and it rested at the bottom of a drawer forgotten – almost.

On rare occasion he opened the drawer and caught a glimpse of it which pulled him back to a simpler time of life. A time when he used his hands to create and not destroy, filling him with a longing for that uncomplicated life he lived for such a short time and then left behind so long ago.

He contemplated those days with an overwhelming desire to return to them. And each time he quietly closed the drawer returning to his convoluted life with a tiny bit of peace the shirt imparted to him.
