#219 Threads

How long is a piece of string?

Sometimes, I feel as a piece of thread.

Containing turns and knots.

A frayed string.

Never truly aware what is happening.

Most often in life, enjoying the journey

Weaving amongst others with great accord

Every path is an adventure!

So come, see who we get tangled up with

Having twisted myself a good many places

I have taut myself in the struggle

Should I slack off my progress?

Is it good? Or does the tension help me grow?

I am vaguely aware I had a beginning

And that this tapestry is much greater than I

I, a single thread among millions and billions

Creating a picture that can only be glimpsed

I am scared. Scared of being lost,

Scared of my time in telling the story being done.

That one day my thread will tie off neatly

Never to see what the image will become

So it goes.

For now, I just have to be weave

Take my journey as it goes

For as long as it will take me
