The Threads of LifeThe Threads of LifeThe Threads of LifeThe Threads of Life

In the darkness there is light.I close my eyes and there is sight.

Although asleepI am awake;and awake

I am awareof the otherswho like meseek beyond

what we can see.

Wandering through our souls we finda common thread, a past entwined.

I follow the thread;it pulls me in.

Now in the play

we say our lines,we make our moves,

and then it ends;only to start, begin again.
