a thread

so i pulled a thread
and not thinking about the end
or the beginning
just a thread

and as i pulled
i found tangles
and knots
and some of the thread
pulled easily
so i continued
to pull

there were shades of black
colors of red
and blues
some yellows
a lot of white
as the string came lose

my life became
a line
only distinguished
by the start
and stops
the shades of color
but i continued on

and all of a sudden
i saw the end
and i knew
just as i had pulled
through
i could not stop
and i continued on
