The Silk of Kings

Reality
muddies the waters
of my rest.

A reminder, yet again:
together we are
primitive woven cloth,
not the silk of kings
or dreams.

And I die another death.

Wistful words A.
But can't primative cloths be colourful and tough. long lasting too?

Your poem has made me wonder?

Ah, I wonder if the silk of kings is all that it is cracked up to be?! Life is full of snags and thorns and I don't think anyone who is human escapes some of them. But your poetry is lovely, and the photo shows a luxurious and elegant room - I hope it's yours. Sending you my very best thoughts!
