MUSUBI - Knots of time

 Two threads in a braided cord

Twisting, tangling around each other

Unraveling, meeting again in a faded accord


"Musubi"-  the threads connected, the wind chimed 

Knotted together, altered the fiery waves of time

Two weary travelers on the same road

Two souls on the same stream, the same boat

One trying to crawl out of the vines that dangle her

One trying to stop the spread of his black heather

They looked up and saw each other on the other side

The water around the boat found peace,

A less turbulent ride.


Time flew, their hands touched  

Destinies intertwined, 

Their sorrows declutched

He helped her out of the vines

She made him believe again in life

The morning shined!


The threads were twisted tight,

Either they will find peace 

Or will die in their plights

"Musubi" - the knots of time, 

The story of a neverending cycle, 

The winds still chimed.
