Mending Unraveled Threads

... a poem about the times when we struggle to see things clearly ... Like the moments when it can feel like the mind can become a twisted and tangled mess ...Everybody has turbulent Monday's now and then ... Just some more often than others ...

Mending Unraveled Threads

From time to time the thoughts get so twisted

Lost in vague and muddled silent reverie

If only the silenced words could be spoken clearly

An untangled and redrawn picture

Seen in a new light’s shining glow

The silk threads spun get knotted and tousled

Where the web is blindly woven out of sight

Interlaced within the shadow’s darkness

Ensnarled loose skeins get harder to unravel

When the tangled mess is known by heart

When the trailing vines of the vineyard get twisted

Entwined in the forgotten moments of a time passed

The grapes of wrath craft a bitter sweet vintage

Gone astray within the jumbled maze unfurling

The crawling vines reaching for the radiant sunlight

A journey’s tapestry montage becomes unraveled

Tugging too hard at the past’s hanging strand

Unraveling and exposing every last stitch of thread

As the collage of snippets from the past

Comes unglued

Can you imagine looking up at the enlightening moment

As the mosaic of glistening stars

Assembled the enchanting sky ?

For that instant the universe seemed like crystal clear perfection

Far beyond the mystic illumination of the midnight sun

Do you remember you once held me tight as I trembled ?

You can’t see where you’re going in the pouring rain

You knew for an instant I was lost deep within my being

Until hope parted the clouds

Letting love’s light shine right on through ...
