A GOLDEN THREAD

Thoughts in dreamish drifting cross days, weeks, months

Sighing moments of sweet significance laced in light

Feelings of vibrant joys, images of profound peace

Such living, awakening moments shared and savored

And you were there all along, woven into my world

Within each glimpse, glance, glimmer, one thread

Weaving throughout, connecting each contentment

A golden thread with softest, strongest strands

Pondering where this golden pathway may lead us

And clinging tightly to the hope in all it now unveils

You never fail to turn words into a magical journey.
I especially love the comparison here and the photo is haunting.
Beautiful sentiment with a sparkle for all.

Thank you for sharing x

There are such golden journeys... and I hope you find them often, sweet friend... :)

Really like the image of a path starting as a thread. Holding onto the smallest of things, pulling on that string to unravel a world worth finding.

Above lines are true for the most of us. Clinging to hope is all we have sometime. Thank you for the outstanding poetry. Always a pleasure to read your words.

"A golden thread with softest, strongest strands" ... wondering if the thread is a connection between two beings, or if it is one being with two connections...
This poem is simply amazing!

Thank you so much for your presence here, Anabela! Always a joy... and yes... I felt this as a connection between two souls... a golden thread through time.. through life.. :)

Your style continues to amaze me with its rapture of adornment and the shear multiplicity of how you approach beauty.

[An owl on the moon]

Thank you, my friend! The longer you live in night, the brighter seem the stars... :)

Yes Craig, whatever suffering your fate affords you, try to be grateful for what you have friend...the suffering of poets as you know is of another order...

[Cascara (aka Sprint Goe..]

Lovely metaphor. Our thoughts are a part of one long thread, never evading us, for our ideas shall never die as long as we live...

[An owl on the moon]

Yes, oh yes... and those who are woven into you as well.. their threads become so much a part of you... Thank you so much!

[Cascara (aka Sprint Goes Cascading!)]

my pleasure!

You always manage to write peaceful, soothing poems that make the reader take a gentle stroll through a fairy tale. I was drawn to this one by the beautiful picture and your words have filled me with a sense of calm and serenity. I like the way you introduce and develop the golden thread metaphor. I also like the fact that you kept it short and did not overdo it. A pleasure to read this, Craig!

Augustus, always so good to have you by, my friend! Thank you for your kindness... your encouragement... for seeing the deeper sense of life.. the threads that connect us...
