A Violet Scarf

I had given you a violet scarf,

sewn from the fabric of time

that you would wrap around

your neck on every beautiful night,

whilst under the stars in

the evening’s fluorescent sky,

as we’d sit in the candle light,

wishing upon every single star,

hoping that not too far,

the sea would say hello, and the moon

would say good night, and I will

chase all the fish in the sea

until I catch you, and only you,

and I will hand you a glass jar,

and tell you to catch me a firefly

that will burn as brightly as

the glowing stars in your eyes,

which has forced my heart to beat,

thread by thread, as the scarf

becomes complete. And I will see

you in the afterlife, because

that is where all the angels go,

and I just know that you are one of them,

so you don’t have to pretend,

ever again.

Using the scarf metaphorically to represent a life growing older and wiser as time does its tricks and treats; each stitch an event in the progressing life. Good events as well as not so good; stitches do not play favorites. When the afterlife beckons one knows it is time to put down the scarf, the whole composed of so many stitches and twitches from life's long commute. The afterlife promises more than a scarf; an undetermined color of coat, a shield.
Wonderful writing, Brian; one of your best! take care...dan

A amazing poem Brian. I liked the use of the scarf. You weaved a perfect tale. I enjoyed the flow of thoughts leading to kind ending. I like how you closed the poem. Left the reader in good place. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Another lovely write, Brian.

There is something alluring about a scarf. The way it is worn by a woman, and caresses her beauty where it lays.
I sense the longing in this one. Perhaps it should be pinned to the workplace noticeboard? Maybe then will it catch the eye of this mysterious beauty.

Keep them coming.

Thanks for the review, buddy. I appreciate it. I'd write a better, much longer comment, but it's nearly 3:30 in the morning, here and I'm somewhat tired. After I wake up from a lovely sleep, I'll be able to write more.
