Seams

by Charles J Hannan

Every little detail
Attention is the most important
Threading the needle is difficult
With such a tiny hole
My ideas are too much
To fit them all at once
This one is better than that
And with that...

Move on
Find your own thread and needle
Maybe
With smaller thread..or
A larger needle
Your ideas will flow
And then you begin to sew
A nice future
Or a pleasant sunrise
Makes life a little easier
So why not
Just sew in some dreams
A fancy quilt made of songs
Will keep you singing warm
And the threads that put
All this together
Started out as
Ideas

One flowing
Into another
Streams of seams and song
Memories
Life
Keeping you warm
Inside

Great use of symbolism. Vivid imagery! I am suggesting this as a possible POTD.
