A Thread of Silver

There are ties that are lost
as we pass through this earth
as time dims our memories
the songs, the mirth

but I find that between two
who’ve ever realized
a moment of happiness together
there yet lies
a connection, a thread
that may never be lost…

Across time’s silence
through distance and space
even into the emptiness that heals our pain
a slim silver thread will still remain

upon that thread travel hopes and fears
upon that thread, the days, long years
patiently waiting for a resonant ring…



and then it comes.

for Touchof1der, my AP mum, who is younger than me, but of course way more mature, hence the mum!
glad to still be in touch, Kimberly...

    Beautiful tribute, I like the word play, it shows emotional connection, beautiful imagery and simply a lovely dedication. Nicely penned.

    Beautifully written. I enjoyed this so much. There are connections that move the spirit and revel in the art of being united. This piece is such a wonderful orchestration of this type of union. Wonderful poetry, but then, what else could it be?
    I am so pleased to have read such a beautiful piece this morning. ~Pamela

    This is endearing dear son. Me, Bel, and Kim share a special treasure in YOU! I know you left Kimberly in tears. Well you can say you set a record. You had me, Kimberly, and Bel all bawling today, with each other and individually. We love you and each other. What a connection! This is beauteous!


    Always Loving YOU ♥

        I don't wanna read until I can comment. I'm a judge you know. Hey...this contest might be tilted in your favor... Me, Bel, and Kimberly. Naw, if anyone knows we're fair it's you.

    Awwww... you have touched my heart to the very depths of my inner being Son. A mother's love never travels far and endures all things. We have our own special bond. Thank you Wayne. I am deeply moved by this.
