It started out
With a train of thought
That went on and on and on
Like string
That turned into a tangled mess.
Sometimes, with little patience,
You cut off what you can
With scissors.
And somewhere along the line,
I forgot things.
Little interwoven fibers,
One by one.
There was
No needle
To pull the thread along.
And I forgot a few more inches of string.
Until all I had
Was a tiny little piece
And I couldn’t quite remember
Just where it had started off.

Every moment, second, minute. I live this poem. Deep in the thick of it. Your words make and don't make sense, a metaphor worth more than cents. A picture is worth a thousand words, of so I've heard. I'll believe it when I see it.

There is nothing better than a poem that you can relate to, provokes mental imagery, and makes you smile. Thanks for sharing it.
