Threads

We must tie them down and keep them safe To understand their weight in wake Watch as these threads do wind one by one holding new mind At once I memorised the line of your face Shapes of each word spoken with pace I knew then in twenty years time Your hand would still be in mine Life and death has come and since gone But still my love for you blossoms on Climbing up each new branch Avoiding every avalanche We forged our own world kept out of view A life kept quiet for just me and you Our evolution merged as one in tune An everlasting honeymoon
