Knitted Love

Weather beaten and raggedy.
Beloved still,
as told by snaffled threads
from abundant employment.

Comfort still lies,
in enveloping fabric.
Having been the haven
of untold aspirations.

Guardian of serene slumber

and chaser of phantoms.

It has been wept clean
with salted sorrows.
Tasting despair and
containing all anguish.

 

Still as it's knit one's

pearl two's unravel

becoming more ragged, 

it only seems more dear

and infinitely  cherished.

 

This afghan of my gradmothers.

    The metaphors of childhood memories and the way life comes at us is something that no one truly understands. But being a seamtress myself whenever I make something new adds that story- that mystery of Why.

    Well done

    For some reason and perhaps its because I'm at the end of my working day I don't know but, I like this and what really helped was the background. I read the whole thing musing about clouds and fluffy things and felt totally relaxed as I drfited through this story. I really like where it took me.
    Good stuff.
