The faintest thread that ere can be extends between the you and me and it works its magic hauntingly before the break of dawn. It’s made to wind around the neck and suffocate the freedom code set on pages one to three of the independence charter. Threads breathe and procreate the feel of what once was meaningful in the grandiose scheme behind the scenes of life as known today. One day the threads will break and split from the core that made them be and I see the panic stations overfilled with human woe. Perchance one day that core will move and reach for what was lost but would freedom bow out gracefully or resist the need again to be tied one unto each other? Trains will come, they always do, with threads and stays and … pepper sprays to tie us to the tracks of blind trust and unity! Helen / 3 November 2010 |

Ah, these threads which bind us are stronger than steel manacles. Sometimes we wonder how it can sustain, without breaking, the onslaught which is called love. Like this write. . . . and the Raven said, %!~#&(&#!$! |

Hello Hellen...Haunting and engaging, the thought of what holds one person to another. Sometimes it feels so good that it's worth the many ways it feels too tight. I always enjoy your pondering. |

Very much enjoyed... quite inspired, eloquent. It reminds me of a poem I wrote before, if I may quote a piece of it? . "There is a fiber so minute so nano-strong so absolute and like Arachne` filament entwines so light without consent..." etc. . Always enjoy your pen, H . Best~ Amaryllis |
