Treads to Tapestry and Cords
there seems to me
to be, a fine thread
visible only
in a still moment
a kite string for
the individual soul
now if each person
you met was given
a thread of your cord
and in return you
received theirs
in exchange...
the two threads build
a string together but
though treads get
tangled easily strings
are less likely to be
tangled...
when enough strings
together either to
make a cord or
better yet a tapestry
with a shifting pattern
each strand tinted
differently
fluctuating the color
of the tapestry
determined like a
fiber optic filament
by the expression of
each tread...
Disconnection?
then there are tears
and weak spots in the
tapestry that may be
why we are drawn to
help each other
anchor our lives
some people argue
about what they think
is at the other end
of the cord ...
some think it is
a journey from a great
Ball of yarn unraveling
(they have pictures)
there are those that
see the tapestry
as a whole
they tell stories
I listen.....
