Hanging By A Thread

 

Hanging fragile by the

Delicate thread of a stem

From a twisted gnarled tree

Fluttering in the careless wind

 

Any  random breeze could be

The  final wave of farewell

No longer part of the tree and then

It’s a fallen dead, brown leaf

 

Swoosh of air kicks up

Twists and flutters and tugs

Will it be this innocent gust

That rends it from its home?

 

Kathy Adams

Maria, a powerful lady blowing fate in powerful gales. Or serenading us with gentle breezes. A fickle lady. Jon Michael Willey

A beautiful, sensitive poem, Kathy. It is innocently written about a leaf hanging on, yet forces one to wonder about the real or hidden meaning. I think many of us can identify with having that "hanging by a thread" feeling at times. Very well done.
It's hard to believe you've only been on AD since January; if I may speak for all, you have grown on us here! It seems as though you have always been here.

Winds of change are all around us, Kathy, and sometimes, all we can do is hang by a thread, just to cling to something normal --- a piece of the past or a delicate memory, just for the sake of comfort.

This is a beautiful poem.

Thank you,
Jill

Wonderful write, but it sounds as though it could contain a deeper hidden meaning...
How often do we feel as though WE are the ones hanging by a thread?

Excellent write, Kathy; sounds like our leaves blowing in the wind; lots of them being blown off by the strong winds. In need of rain; entering another drought situation; fire danger....Not good! Pray for rain for us (but NOT severe weather!).

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D
