A flick of her finger, and two desires were dead.

The Law of Existence

Chance the work of man
Necessity a work for you

Paper and cloth

Pen and ink
Needle and thread

dancing with them.

Creativity

Creativity 
An unexpected lifeblood
An unrecognized thread
The only thing driving me
forward 
Through the dull familiar

Like Needle and Thread

in an unseen giant's hands:

the deft squirrels probing,

penetrating lush leafage,

spanning tangled trees' branches.
Form: Tanka

Conspiracy

Come bridal beauty,
Walk softly down red carpet 
Crafted with much care
Thread by thread in sly design.
It is a conspiracy.

Revealing Peace

Revealing peace, presented by my mood,
Persuades the world of feeling all its streams –

upon taut thread of being
holding back restrained
fearing failure ever poised

We are like a pair 
of scissors: alone - useless

but together - Atropos'

With which arbor hold delightful red.
