"Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds...Oh, no! It is an ever fixed mark that looks on tempests and is never shaken" -William Shakespeare (1564-1616) |

The Slender Thread
This slender thread to which we hold, Is brighter than the brightest gold. It lights our hearts through time and space, Helps each recall the other's face.
Fragile, this slender thread, though it shines And keeps the door between our minds Open forever near our touch, Lighting this path we love so much.
We travel, each to each, feet fleet running, panting, striving to meet another time, another place, where differences leave no trace
Of past mistakes and thoughtless ways, Of tear wet nights and lonely days. Hold tight to this our slender thread, As I hold near my heart words said
So long ago and far away, Where youth and love flew here to stay Inside our minds, our hopes, our dreams, Creating a gossamer stream
To lay upon and sink within Each other's souls as we again, Weave this slender thread, so bright Against life's endless lonely night.
