"The Golden Thread"
- Savant

above a world aglow in red
cast in a deathly pall
where living walk amidst the dead
the king aside the thrall
above their head
a shining thread
hung gleaming o'er them all.

thus hallowed in that pallid hue
affixed and held in somber air
and all the things held to be true
could take no succour there
they'd not undo
nor journey through
the gateways furnished fair.

such little thoughts!
such little minds!
such treasures opened bare!
such cherished things hung from those lines
atwixt, entwined, suspended there.

but not one there could see the thread
only its halo burned the sky
five miles of earth banded around
a crown of land for those on high
so strangers strained and turned their head
they found their feet pulled from the ground
from golden chains that drifted by

to join the firmament of light
that held the earth aloof
and stretch across that heavenly gate
and spun around to left and right
and wind the weave and woof
engend'ring flight
unto the night
to break the chains of past and fate
