Threads by Blue Collared Owl
Two things happened

not meant to be climbed
and not all rivers find the ocean
and not all fathers find the time
and maybe not all of the threads you unravel
will bring you peace of mind

like freshly dampened soil
hugs a shovel
till the harvest is done
and the union has won
she’ll stand in the field
feeling humbled
because that’s what it means
when you take on a vow
as you plow through the wind and the rain
she is bound to the earth
her hands covered in dirt
but she trusts he will wash it away…
