golden thread

everything i have known of my life is falling away
a dissolving of what has been
inside and outside
nothing, no-one
to hold onto
other than
this golden thread
i am suspended between
what has been
and
what will be
untethered soul
what will become
a mystery
i have no semblance
of what is emerging
blinded
dumbfounded
in the mystery
the void
out beyond faith or trust
breath my sole companion
i whisper faintly
to the heart of my heart
"i will, my will, thy will."
amen.
