Intertwined
By John Herlihy

We are bound up into a web of possibilities,
Intertwined together amid earthly realities.
I weave the warp of my own unique experience,
You weave the woof in a tapestry mysterious.
At every point of contact lies potential for light;
At every encounter lies the mystery of the night.
Thru others, we unburden what lies in us haunting;
I see you have courage to face whatever is daunting.
For myself, I take note of my contradictions within;
Others offer a solution that may bring with it a grin.
I may suffer delusions that bring me close to despair;
Others may see illusions that can illuminate with flare.
Our roots and tentacles feed upon a nurturing earth;
Our history retraces footsteps to the time of our birth.
We contain within us riddles no mummy could solve;
Intertwined, we can life’s recurring mysteries resolve.

INDEED, WE ARE VERY COMPLEX, I AM GRATEFUL THAT THERE IS 'ONE' WHO UNDERSTANDS US 'ENTIRELY' BECAUSE, OF COURSE, HE CREATED US. AND EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE...'HE' LET'S US SEE, WITH CLARITY, 'SOME' OF OUR MYSTERIOUS SELVES AND WE CAN AGREE ON THE SIMILARITIES THAT INTERTWINE US ALL. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

I've always said that life is one big tapestry and everything and everyone are mere threads. Great write!

Love ya!

Connectedness. One things leads to another. Often in unexpected ways. A fine thought-process, John.

"Our history retraces footsteps to the time of our birth.
We contain within us riddles no mummy could solve;"

I have never heard this idea expressed so well, John. Enjoyed this greatly.
