A Tangled Tale Told Poem by Edmund V. Strolis

This tale grows long
So strong in its beginning
Taut and bound in innocence
In time and length though frayed
Somehow it still remains

Knotted and tangled here and there
Strained to nearly breaking
Weakened and near invisible
Yet like a spiders' defiant strand
Enduring it fills the gap again

Is hope the fabric of our days
A lifeline and not a tether
A link throughout our time
Something in the wee small hours
To hold our lives together.
