Follow the Thread

Follow the thread in and through the fabric, this tapestry... or is this too trite? This little life this stretched out line, so very fine, this thin thread, woven in and out. I belabour the point. Is this moot? Still, follow the thread to the end. Delicate, fragile, handle with care. A rare and beautiful gem, a beating heart, is dangling there. Adelaide Bond

Adelaide, this has esoteric undertones. A fine write indeed.

I can think of a couple of ways to interpret this one. I particularly like the concept of carefully following your own thread through a maze of imitation (the other threads of the fabric), and on the other side, should you make it...is a prize. Maybe wealth, maybe love, maybe just a discovery of self. I love writes like this that inspire the reader to find their own meaning. Masterfully done, and thank you for sharing this. -G
