How fragile are these mortal threads that bind us to one another,
friends and family.
That water would be stronger than choices made,
that blood would be thicker than trouble.
But these silken filaments made strong in adversity from without
can easily be stretched and broken in
the calm,
when connection is taken for granted and
peace becomes an excuse for not facing the giants in the room.
