The Silver Strands

No leash – no chains – no ties that bind
   I’ve cut this silver strand
I’m floating in eternity
   amidst the timeless sands

Cast adrift and without form
   such wonders I perceive
The past and future are as one
   there are no mysteries

And yet,

I’m losing my identity
   I’m melding into more
And I’m not sure we want this
   so I’m looking for a door

And there they are my silver strands
   I tie them in a knot
And once again there’s time and space
   and me – without the doubt.

RogueandPoet,

Not too bad. This has good meter.

And I’m not sure we want this

I love these three lines as I have felt them - and wondered.
