Plum(b) lines drift off center,
little by little, creating changes in the level
with slight variations from normalcy
Joy, fine stitches in quality garments
gathering family, faith and friends
like expected blessings in a rich life
Loss, a course pattern of thick, bright
yarn woven into the texture of existence
like aberrations in bulky sweaters
Pain, a shovel that digs deep into the
meaning of survival until it hits a root
like a hard stop in an endless progression of days
Hope, words written in the wind
with bold letters, expressing anticipation
of joy, loss, and pain in the certainty of change
with bold letters, expressing anticipation
of joy, loss, and pain in the certainty of change
