Yarn
Satisfaction guaranteed
Yarns and stories fill a need
Warming hands across a barrel
A moment without a quarrel
Huddled together for warmth
Momentarily transformed
From loneliness or despair
Caught up in a story where
The promise of another life
Replaces the current strife
Fading in and out of reality
Nothing here one must referee
A ball of yarn,
A twisted tale,
A big bright smile,
That cannot fail.
We all connect,
With human genes,
Please have respect,
Know what it means.
So tie yourself
To one another
We all are siblings,
Sister and Brother.
That is worthy of a repeat! Thank you, your heartfelt care is touching indeed.
I looked on your site, but I couldn’t find this poem so I could forward it…is it under a specific heading?
I just wrote it on the spur of the moment in your reply box.
Ah, I see. It was beautiful. Mine was spur of the moment following another blogger’s post which I reposted. Two of a kind in thought it seems, hehe
Love this. Makes me wonder where all the arts and crafts have gone. I know some still do it – but wish it was as important as long ago. There is a wonderful bond passing it down from generation to generation. That, and storytelling…
I know, I so agree with you. So many lost arts as everything was made through machines.
Makes me sad to know that we are losing a lot of our culture and arts that way. Perhaps at some point people will realize and revive them.
I hope so, Sumyanna
I didn’t even think of this connotation of yarn! Well done!
I copied a piece by a writer that I came across on Reader and this is what came out of it. How life could have been so different had I run away…as some have as a result of the kind of lives we’ve been forced to live.
That’s why our stories are so important, to inspire and reassure those who are thinking of running away.
And thank you very much. It was an immediate thought. lol just was there..
