Braid

Slipping strands of gold between the comb of fingers
Part the was of when, part the silver highlight, part the blessed auburn soul
Twist in unison the untangled, lay upon the palm in weightlessness
Each the vision of a blend of swift and flowing tresses
Fine the fairest weave of ribbons and wishes
There is no rhyme, and yet there is such music
Falling together, turning neat each part denotes
And yes, I linger in the after play of soft curls brought to bounce
For once it was the single strand that was a forelock gold
And fate her name, as I reached out and grabbed her then
Turning once a lonely syllable to song

Agreeing with Warbler, you have a splendid grace that flows as you weave these strands of life.
