once sparkling and new-
the threads of our joints
moved and intertwined
freely....
joining one another
smoothly
without effort
creating a union
that was unique
to us alone
serving a purpose
that only we-
two parts joined as one-
could serve
but time and age
brought inevitable
deterioration
no longer able to
seperate without
one or both crumbling
a union once necessary
-now old
-no longer serving the grander purpose
possibly forgotten
except by us
for Magpie Tales
Oh, this was achingly lovely. So much emotion and story in your carefully chosen words.
ReplyDeleteThis is so subtle. The metaphor was unexpected but perfect. Well crafted. I found it moving esp the sentence -
ReplyDelete"no longer able to
seperate without
one or both crumbling"
Well Done!
