Intricate
I hold our love up to the light
lace filigree,
intricate,
delicate,
the product of nights spent
meshing, alligning, creating
until there is breathtaking web,
a fragile net
to cover both our hearts.
The warm must come from inside---
the insulation from us.
It is comfort and challenge
when you feel
that a soul has become
your safe place.
You dance at the giddy joy of it,
and must always remember
not to look down.
Intricate.
but then for all that it is fragile,
silk is so very strong.
