Wounded Threads

Angela Russo
Jan 26, 2022

Invisible army heavy laden

Silent voices reaching out

To granite countenance

Unmoved by echoing hearts

Craving golden sunlight of interconnectivity.

Torn in two, daily…

Breathing, blinking, seeking.

Ripples permeate the atmosphere

Falling to the ground.

Flames in the darkness

Burning in the embers,

Smoldering ruins of time gone by.

Echoes of a light dimmed,

Flickering candle gasping for breath

Labyrinth of intricate lines

Twisting turning tangling and tearing

Longing for the intricate web

Of beating breathing Islands

Frozen in the storm

To weave a tapestry of vibrant warmth
