WOVEN THREADS

All of life’s woven threads
Sometimes so pulled tight
Offering a restricted view
Not if loosened, it is true
Rare to ever see the light
Separate hearts and heads

There is a certain elasticity
As when spun wool is used
Comfort becomes the word
Natural fibres are preferred
But synthetics often refused
By causing static electricity

But there is also a metaphor
Complexity in knitting style
An echo of contrasts in life
Such challenges may be rife
Trying to go that extra mile
With good design at its core

The garment at the end of it
A success one can announce
Yet the size can be adjustable
But in a fire, it’s combustible
As in life, the quality counts
But most important is the fit
