The Potential of Unraveling
Something I'm still working on...comments welcome...

Ignorant Hope Of Yarn

A neglected ball of yarn,
Don't know where to begin
Unravel the thing,
Or how it got so inconceivably tangled,
As frustration overrides fading hope
For symmetry of material that defines;
Could redefine a lifetime
         Of wayward rolling behind
Couch and chair,
         Eyed by eager felines
And claws at play

         to become forgotten.

A dull ball -- purposeless,
Twined cotton Mother brought home
From the store, radiant and hopeful
This DNA, reconstructed,
Would, one day,
Amaze, but she
Dropped the ball
And here I stay --
Knotting and unknotting
And divining a way
For you to have purpose
Someday, once
I get out of your way.

Never mind now;
No shining needle
Could save the day.

Twist at end -- play on words/metaphor intended.
