Tethered to Heaven
April Demes
Lines of heart and mind
silken
invisible
but tensile and tough
Even when I severed some myself
I could feel the tug
Someone on the other end
who hadn’t
wouldn’t
let go
Divine threads
I am bound by them
not imprisoned—
attached.
Tied to truth.
Cocooned in connection.
Woven with glory.
