filaments

It’s only when you have it all that you realize
Our love, our lives, our happiness, our wealth
Rest upon circumstance as thin as filament
Woven a bit but still so fine
It’s why we strive constantly
It’s why we share our magnetic charge with success
The cold night moon is all that lights our path
Beyond the trees what dangers lie?
We can only console loss
And live each day as though the filaments are ready to give
