Long ago at the start there was love
in crawl along alleys of man
cut like grooves in life’s tenuous thread
till the storehouse of all
straightened up tall
and brought the ends in together.

The noose of denial a fait accompli
and so the beheaded were born
but the dismembered part still intact
to the eyes of the newly created.

Shudders the soul in search of a brain
and the energy cord recoils
to invisibly lie a beaten ideal
at the base and core of wisdom.

Time and the threads straighten again
but of grooves there are a-plenty
to lure and attract the seeker
away from the shepherd of thought.

Out from a noose but onto a limb
in hang over pits of free-will
and there one day I came to know …
balance doesn’t come easy
when you stand at the end of a thread!

Marge, Jo, and Martie - thanks so much for the read. Martie, I'm not wise or even a wife but just here in this thing called "life".
