Threads weave and entwine
and change colours at ends
to highlight a different approach
in this tapestry, life, still yet to be framed
as a one-time creative endeavour.

Slithering so like a venomous snake
important basics are skipped
and a hole appears in the pulsating sphere
of each and every life force.

A stitch in time and even love cries
when up to the number nine
but finally raised from the level of earth
it stands as a castle of worth
proud to be part of the bubble
wherein the truth resides.  

Corrective surgery invisibly wrought
if I can but give love a thought,
a word, a deed, and a “thank you”    
for the provision of  … medical aid
there for the asking and taking
by the choices I choose to make.

So says the air but who really cares?  
Time enough to remain unaware
because not in the field of human endeavour …  
have snakes ever patched and repaired!

"So says the air but who really cares?  
Time enough to remain unaware"

Many do remain unaware or just don't care...but as you said, "Corrective surgery invisibly wrought
if I can but give love a thought,"

So much searching and so many questions without answers...perhaps the answer is love or truth, but I know for myself...to keep searching is what I'll do.  Thanks for this thought filled poem!
