The Thread
Is there a thread that binds and ties…
an artist to his soul
Does it thin or thickly mend,
to come apart or tightly hold
Is it there to patch the deepest tear,
with the essence of its form
Does its very nature reattach,
when in fury it is torn
Will it stitch a quilt of memories,
from a past that’s ripped and frayed
Can it hem the truth within arms reach
—when again we’ve lost our way
(Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2016)
