There is a delicate thread which binds
one so fragile as not to even be there
It holds some things tenously
and other things it will hold forever
while they fight and struggle to be free
yet a breath can tear it apart effortlessly
These fragile constructions from arachnid
and also woven by humans as a veil
there are those which are woven strong
and those which are invisible to the eye
but they are always there permeating all
weaving and glistening in the unseen light
We spin them as we speak our thoughts
and weave and constuct them in our dreams
they connect all those fragile burning emotions
that stretch across the mind as tender feelings
they touch ours and others' lives endlessly
yet a breath can tear it apart effortlessly
The universe is connected with the invisible
our minds with the unknown complexities
this world with the unseen tenuous fragililties
and our personal strength relies on its frame
it exsists within and without, seen and not
yet a breath can tear it apart effortlessly
This endless connection that binds us all
so beautiful and wonderous to the soul
That which brings us back to ourselves
and gives our spirit to another so freely
That which connects all to one macrocosm
yet a breath can tear it apart effortlessly
