STRINGS
25.5.05
I am bound by the tightest of strings
to everything I know and have forgotten
to everyone I’ve met and left behind
to all that I have ever done and said
all these memories are with me now
sitting in my hand
the laughter and the romance
everything that makes me sad
they are little strands
blowing in the wind
little signals that there really is a life
there has never been a string that has come undone
even though they are just threads
they can not be pulled off or cut
there is a power in them
that I will never understand
and they are wrapped around my hand
for ever and forever more
the bunch will always grow
tying me to all things alike
they do not discriminate
and I hope, neither do I
I have learned a lot
but there is so much more to know
they are such tiny things these strings
they are all around me everywhere
no matter where I go
I am attached
no one can break those ties
they are the toughest of all things
those strings
there is nothing anywhere like them
even when my word is null and void
I will still remain to be tied by
those strings
