Poetry list
the golden string
amidst the warp and
weft of each life as
we are woven into
a tapestry not of
our making is there
a thread a golden
string that leads us
in the random clatter
of looming time
joining us to the
source and end the
home of belonging
the seamless perpetuity
in union loss yet
clothed in love and
pierced and threaded
where self is seamlessly
formed beyond identity
into being may this
spinning string of light
beam and burnish my
baffled brain my hapless
heart my bruised and
breaking being bereft of
brightness and bring me
bind me buy me billow
me beyond the knots
and stitches weave and
entwinements of
mortality’s fabric upbraided
by life’s storms yet catching
us all by golden strand to
heaven’s golden gate
