Golden Threads

Then you caught her in her spiral 
                                        as she hit the ground

     Scraped knees and bruised mind 
careening

          Your kisses healed her broken spirit,
                                                lifted her around

     Your love weaved golden threads 
gleaming

Hi Jan, thanks for saying that...it is always hard when I try to do Greg's Rithimus...picking out a bit that stands alone and then how to make it seem like it's own poem written in that way? Always a challenge!
