Threaded up tightly with strong mesh of steel
Life knots itself into streams of memory.
Moments arrive, then swiftly leave feelings
As finite as limited time when endless
Emotion curls round and suffocates dreams.
My heart looks to future and sometimes sighs
Wanting and waiting is bound up in foresight.
He drifts in the misted faraway sidelines
But maybe wishing will favour the right.
As we slowly unfold the whens from the whys.
Safe in the knowing, I have sought methods
Of reaching his harbour, hope can unleash
An anchor which destiny holds to dredge
Anticipation when fate takes the lead,
Untying life then is easy and gold-edged.
As deciding hands open paradise gates.
I enter and know that there he is waiting.

Ah, dreamy and beautifully serene :)
Heart-touchingly beautiful, Fay; 'He drifts in the misted faraway sidelines' is a particularly special image. :)
beautiful yet again Fay....
Another beautiful one Fay...this is image rich and full of your unique writing .
As if opening the ribbon on a gift (the gift of Life with Hope). I like the last couplet in particular.
Awesome Fay! The knot of memory, eventually becoming your dreams of knowing, and the metaphor of the knot untying life with the glory of gold. The last two lines are stunning....Oh! yes he will be waiting...
Fay, good on both the ear and the eye. Excellent write.
"As deciding hands open paradise gates. I enter and know that there he is waiting" An awesome write Fay....love the ending
Beautifully written Fay.
Beautiful Fay - Assurance of Salvation is a great blessing. Our lives are but a vapour which passes away and then Eternity - AWESOME. We don't have to strive Fay - we enter Paradise by the New and Living Way - Purchased for us on a Cross outside Jerusalem in AD33. Let go and let God. "As deciding hands open paradise gates - I enter and know that he is waiting - AMEN. Thanks for sharing - Love through verse - JOHN X LOL.
