Threaded Thoughts

~ how like a pen, ~
       to act as a needle, a
syringe of words
          poking life’s blood
as it transfuses
            ~ thought to being heard ~

~ or as needle threaded, ~
       looping through
fabric’d lives of burlap or
           silk, piecing us
~ together, me and you ~

~ the eye seeing much ~
        in the weave and woof
of the give and take
              binding like a quilt
~ holding even the aloof ~

~ how silk can ~
        rent if not needled well
but when ‘tis done
        how soft a story’s tell,
cotton’s shift may be handed down
              from generation to
more, between hems of time,
         becoming
              stiff, or supple,
~ depending how stored… ~

~ look how a slender needle ~
       eyes silken thread
piercing a pearl
            appeasing sweet lace
winding the satin ‘round
               ~ a loved one’s face ~

~ coarser the thread ~
        longer its life
holding together
              through war
                     through strife
a military cap
       a rosary
              a flowered love
                   ~ a Bible for thee ~

~I know not if I am ~
       fabric or thread
but only know
           that as if by silk led,
if words were all
                that bound me true,
you’ve sewn well
        ~ silken I love yous ~

                                                                                             ©Karilea Rilling Jungel

My goodness gracious, it must be something that is in your coffee that gives you this vivid imagination, but then again, I heard that special people were chosen to make us see things in a new light sometimes. This is one of those times, and it was magic!
