Nottinghill Poetry: Fallen Threads by Nttinghill(m): 6:00pm On Sep 01, 2006 |
I'd strayed into a parable And become so many things lost and so many things unable, Seed or dust with a prize or cost. I was heavy, my scattered dreams Tailing a thousand threads of wind; I had forgotten what it means To be loved or, worse still, gladdened. So I suffered loss, thereupon, Living a dry life stuffed with bran, Till I saw the splendour of One Who works in ways no one else can. I no longer wander the fields Since I found One who, for me, redeems The one meaning of my life, The one thread to pull home stray dreams. |
