Woven in Silk Threads of Love (Apropos Us and the Children)

 

 

Woven in Silk Threads of Love

(Apropos Us and the Children)

 

Time tested love, bruised

and battered,

lay like littered crystals

on the steel plate stage of life;

dismembered and crumbled

like a stale cookie

whose particles

have lost

their electromagnetic-like

attractiveness.

 

Ingredients of envious spice

inhibits any and all adhesiveness—

that tough threading  love folds and kneads.

 

Yet, the sprinkling of forgiveness

knits and weaves the web

of diverse unity of understanding—

                          cocooning new beginnings:

 

Indeed, the most fragile butterfly wings

have endured—soared in monarch majesty—

defying time tested, treacherous winds

that the teeming silk of love forever spins.

 

Yes, to err is human; to forgive divine;

may eternal blessings forever twine

this tender love of yours and mine.
