ROPE

Neat - just sitting there - wrapped up
tight … ready to be grabbed and used

when needed  - from time to time.

But every time a piece of us is cut off

and goes here or there, it loses its value

of just sitting there waiting to be used.

So too you…. So too me …. Unused we

think we’re so neat, but once we're cut

we see our loss - our limits - our reality.

So we have a choice - to look good - new

clean, no tar on us - or to be here, there
and everywhere holding our lives together.
