A Friend’s Gift

by zane2976

Sound is waves Light is waves Movement is dancing in time Keep it organised in a single line But don’t forget the river of time Nor the mountain of momentum You carry within We come up next to A Silly Sting Theory And things get lost Because no one knows Just exactly how far this one goes A pompom was made by an important friend After I showed her how Loop around a cardboard circle Make it thick and make it tight Squeeze the scissors in Cut just the outside circle Before you take the cardboard out Take a string and go around Tie it tight and make it trim So it fits the rest and can blend in What was one, now is many She went away And then came back And showed me an amazing thing Then she told me “I made it for you, give it a shake, I put a bell inside” It lives in a box Just for now I’ll find it a good home Somewhere Somehow “When the planets and the stars and the moons align ‘just so’” But a string can take on many forms. A pompom A torus A lattice A rope And so much more Mix up intent Driven by need A desire to be well received Here is creation And maybe Just maybe This time A Seed. Walk the fine line of sanity It’s ok though I’ve been here before This path is still well known My footing is still sure I always wanted to be an acrobat I remember
