The Red String

Jun 30, 2023

Let us go walking, you and I

Let us go walking
you and I, into the night
beyond this distance.

Above you bright stars
shine loving light on the pain
I’m afraid to see.

You hold out your hands,
open fingers caressed by
summer’s twilight wind.

I touch the place where
a maker of moons bound you
to me with red string.

That slender silk cord
around my little finger
frays our fears of love.

On life’s twisted path
I sometimes go left, but love,
You always choose right.
