I feel
My life is like
A finely hand-knit garment
I took years to carefully
Create it,
and it looks so beautiful

However,
if one finds a loose thread
And tugs it firmly
The whole thing will unravel
And soon no longer exist

All that will be left
Is a pile of loose thread
Which by itself
Amounts to nothing

Only after I spend
Loving time and effort
To reconstruct it
Will it be whole and beautiful
Once again

Very good simile and very true.

Thankfully each thread, while it can uncravel, rarely does the whole tapestry unravel.

Hope this fine poem was as healing for you to write as it is to read.
