Don't Let Go

Don't ever let go of

the thread.

Even when life

takes away

What you held close

for so long,

You never let go 

of that thread.

Even when your trust

is betrayed,

When the ones you

believed in

Weaves a web 

of deceit,

You never let go

of that thread.

Hold on for dear life,

since this sacred thread

Which is now frayed

is a path to more

Intricate stories to come,

adding another layer

To your evolving

life journey.

You never let go

of that thread.
