Silk

What do I think of when I think of Silk

Something tender, something soft

White......like cream or milk



A caress, a touch, like wind in your hair

Soft like a new born baby's bottom

Softer than even a small tear



Silk is like billows of love falling over your head

A hideaway, a shelter, from the outside's cold dread

Or protection and comfort, a warm soft pillow for your bed



Angel's feet shuffling on the clouds above

A bright smile, a friend,

Real true love



The dictionary says..... a thread spun from a silkworm to make a cocoon

But lately it has come to mean much more to me,

So very quick and oh so soon



About the things that are invisible, yes the things that are not seen

Like love and hope and joy and peace

And the songs that we sing



Silk is like pedals of tulips brightened by the day

Silk is like water cascading down the falls in which you can play



Silk is like friends holding each others hands

Silk is like freedom from old binding bands



Silk is like long braides in a woman's hair

Silk is like a long look of love, almost a stare



Silk is like the cool morning air dampened by the dew

Silk is like a sweet conversation with my friend ... that's you



What do I think of when I think of Silk

Friend, all of these things, but most of all I think of you
