Threads of Life

I cry out
To the life I share.
Can we be without
A common prayer?
Within our nature
Flaws pervade.
They make us similar;
A bond is made.
Anger, jealousy, pride;
Denizens of Hell
Sins we have to hide
By you and I are felt.
Into myself, I swim
Unknowingly in company.
Instinct covered by whim
Sinking into eternity.
A statistic, picked apart
Answers more than its question.
Penetrating a single heart
Opens a world of comprehension.
In unity, we live together
The same mind, the same strife.
Seamlessly bound forever
By these common threads of life.

a great poem, I like the bound forever by theese common threads of life, it reminds me that a three stranded cord can not easily be broken, so if God is in the centre of our life then we are strong in him and the thread will never break or snap, Prayer is a powerful tool to help us through lifes journey with out hope we would surley sink, this is a very good and powerful message. welcome to poetry soup God bless you from diane
