Silk

A veil of sadness
 was pierced,
 the fabric of sorrow
 ripped.

In moments
 a rippling silence
 eschewed.

I was liberated
 from a shroud
 that bound my grief,
 I am now a silken thread
 fixed to spin,

in silent whorls.

Those fibers from the cocoons of a certain kind of caterpillar are prized all over the world. Nice fanciful write.
