What Happens Now? – a poem by Paul Vincent Cannon

“Unraveling external selves and coming home to our real identity is the true meaning of soul work.” Sue Monk Kidd

What Happens Now?

That jumper had a long run,
it was one of my favourites,
holding so many moments,
both fond and not so,
a talisman to hold life
by the stitches of memory,
a safe-keep of everything
held dear until today
when it snagged and
began to unravel,
I wondered how life
would now be.

    I’d say darn that sweater to keep it from unraveling any further. 😉

    I do think at this stage the sweater can be fixed. Life should be that easy!!

    It truly is a moment of wonder when the old unravels. It’s a time to welcome the new while getting to know all that we possess.
