Untying Life.

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.

Heart-touchingly beautiful, Fay; 'He drifts in the misted faraway sidelines' is a particularly special image. :)

As if opening the ribbon on a gift (the gift of Life with Hope). I like the last couplet in particular.

Karin Anderson
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...
