Silver Threads

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLCHXfkGOIw

Perhaps if we were to take apart grief as we unravel life  
one single moment unstitched pulled out of time 
we'd begin to see that death is only a silent passage 
and we need not bear the loss alone,    
The memories of our coverlet years of love
will drive us home *  
Perchance, mayhap, we can take it by the hand like a seer,  
"we were born to exist and disappear"  said the Mysticeer   
and I for one believe that death is the encoding of life;  
The silver threads of Mercy are weaved inside God's blanket 
big enough to warm each widow, grieving parent, and child 
As long as we love well, while we are still here,  
death cannot take away our loved ones, nor their time on earth. 
In Love And Light, Your Mystic Rose

What a beautiful message so thoughtfully penned, Mystic Rose Rose. Lovely phrase "weaved inside God's blanket." Insightful, this beautifully-woven piece of work. What does the * refer to?

The star represents the star of heaven, or the star inside your heart, either way its light, Milt. Thank you for reading.

Enjoyed the read ~ let wisdom be our steed ~ our doubts may not quieten ~ until clear light of truth glistens ~ whereupon our verse ~ resonates knowing of the universe
