Invisible Threads

(written April 2025)

Invisible threads have no rhyme or reason.
There is little point in questioning the reason
for their existence.
Invisible threads are complex.
Once tied by the hands of fate.
Sewn into the fibrous tissue of your skin.
Using scissors in an attempt to sever the connection
will never cause the thread to break.
Knots of pain will form with any resistance met.
And yet, those holding the thread will never meet.
Gossamer may stretch but cannot carry
the weight of love over land and sea.
The thread’s end is the lesson.
Expectation only causes hearts to bleed.
