In an attempt to
string my thoughts
like beadwork, I fall short
and lose sight of
the larger design.
on occasion the focus
is misdirected and
I'm tricked by my
subconscious slight of hand.
My being begins to fray
at the end of each thought.
Perhaps it is in my nature
to pull myself apart until
I am a single thread
dancing loosely in the wind.
The image begins to reappear
as it all comes full circle.
How fitting that my
depiction of the design
should begin and end
with a single thread.
I begin my work again,
now with a bit more momentum
and I can see it begin
to come together
and just as I feel I am about to
come to completion,
I notice an empty space in the image.
I could continue to move forward
but I've been here before
and know all too well
the detriment of a loose thread
so I back track and
repair any errors
that may have happened.
The end is in sight yet
I don't feel the thrill
of accomplishment
but there is something else,
a yearning of a continuation.
There is contentment that sits
in the act of creation
and In that single moment,
the horizon dissolves
and I am liberated
by the limitless
laid out before me.
