A Curious History

as the hand of fate
parted the veil
I awoke,
on shape-shifting
white cotton dreams

grasping a thread
of saffron history,
a sparkling fibril
entwined
with the fingers
of my hands

I was incandescent
with history
as my fingers spread out

each minute twinkle
of precious memory
and on every
tear stained thread,
the abacus
calculates the
measure of life

in the make up
uniquely me,
a curious creature indeed,

will one day be measured,
and weighed,
to be always found wanting

but to a creature
not of existence

it will matter not

Dear Jayne

each minute twinkle of precious memory and on every tear stained thread, the abacus calculates the measure of life this reminds me of mythology's three fates measuring and cutting the threads of life of us mortals. will one day be measured, and weighed, to be always found wanting This comes directly from the movie "A Knight's Tale" I really liked that one. Always, Cat

Dear Cat

Thats a myth about the fates I hadnt heard its a lovely story thanks for sharing it ... and if that sentence is from a knights tale I have seen the movie but it was a long time ago I would have to watch it to even know where you mean love and hugs JayCee (http://www.neopoet.com/forum/36627-meet-n-greet-live-chat-thurs-apr-15th-9-11-pm-ny-est-host-poewriter58-welcome-new-member#comment-175177) ...
