THE ENDLESS STRING Time is like a thread Woven into all things We all get so much from the head To our feet It is seamed throughout every star And every stone When the string comes loose, it is the end of our part, But our souls never leave, they simply fall through the ___? To a far away place where the string is taunt When some doubt crosses their minds They look around and see more thread being spooled Into the beautiful line that has Been woven into all things. -TYLER GERDING - 8TH “When writing this, I envisioned time as an everlasting flow that is in all of us and one that our bodies are held together with. But when the string falls away, so does our bodies. However, the souls of all things go up even where time is never an issue and the forms we carry there are forever sown together.” - TYLER GERDING - 8TH
