Unravel

If I let it be what it is

If I open my heart

Surely this will all unravel

Then I believe

As Leunig said

It will become the thread or path

On which I can travel :

Home

Maybe what got so tightly bound

Over so many years

Is now seeking to uncoil

Maybe those threads want to let go

Who knows what wounds or old hurts

Got buried in our cells

Surely our minds cannot always fully grasp

The mystery of the deep ancestral soul

Nor the enormity of the task

That is woven over generations

Comings and goings

Leavings and loss

Arrivals attended by deaths

These all happened

And now patterns repeat

As the journey replays

It does no sense to aruge with fate

Does it really conspire to keep

Us in prison

Or is acceptance of it the answer

To a far larger question

Life asks of us

Requiring a answer

That can never be fully fathomed

By the mind
