ariadne's thread
i was early given a ball of thread
and i grew adept at untangling
but of course also at entangling
i now remember, now notice
the first purpose of the gift was
not to untangle but not to be lost
i find a familiar thread in the dust
and trust that it leads home
to clarity, confidence and comfort
out of the ancient labyrinth
away from the devourer
away from confusion
a gentle knowing has descended
a gift from mercy - in old directions |
