String Theory

This string on my thumb

reminds me to buy a birthday card for my mom.

This string pulling back my hair

reminds me to behold the world,

to see that each creature,

from flea to man to whale,

has a place and a purpose

that fits its form without bargain.

And the invisible string tugging at my heart

reminds me to feel love for all my friends and family.

Not just to feel for those in front of me,

but those behind me who once stood by my side,

until circumstance took them elsewhere.
