black thread


I shouldn’t have pulled on
that piece of black thread
but I was in a rush and didn’t
think of the consequences
so I pulled on it and slowly
everything unraveled
now I sit here mending
the pieces of my life
back together again

    A perfect analogy of life....so easy to unravel sometimes, but much harder to mend.

    Pulling on the black thread or tugging on Superman's cape are tantamount to trouble, for sure!

    It might turn out even better once mended.

    Exactly... sometimes we need to be careful... it might all come apart if we pull too much

    Insightful...and frightful when we pull on the thread that unravels it all!
