Journey of loose threads


I realize my heart and spirit see the world in an odd and strange way.  The ponderings and ramblings are  like loose threads in search of a tapestry.  But somewhere- I don’t know where, I don’t know how, I don’t know when, I don’t even know if I will ever know- there is a loom waiting, empty of threads.  Maybe one day the healing will take place and I’ll find the loom.  Maybe the healing is done and this is, what is. 

It’s a long way from here to there.  But a loom is empty.  I’ve a heart pocket of loose threads.  And like the song that keeps running through my scattered brain…someone, something, keeps calling my name.


“My name is jenny and i am four fingers old
Mostly I just try to do the things that I am told
But when they say that I’m too young a girl to ride a bike
I may be just four fingers old but i know what I like

[Refrain] Someone keeps calling my name
Someone keeps calling my name
Or is it just the rustling of the wind
Or is it just that I need a friend
Someone keeps calling my name, my name

My name is Jason and I’m ten birthdays old
My parents had me years ago to have and to hold
But sometimes they don't talk too much or touch hardly at all
It's strange how two can share a life divided by a wall

[Refrain]

My name is Jonathon, I’m fifty seasons old
I say it that way 'cause I love the changes each year holds
But as I look around I see some changes nature never planned
I guess it's time to change ourselves, at least while we still can

[Refrain]

My name is Jaime, fifteen years I’ve been to young
Is it time to taste the truth and toss it off my tongue?
The world has come a-calling and it's bleeding at my door
Am i supposed to turn away, or is this what I’m here for?

Someone keeps calling my name
Someone keeps calling my name
Or is it just the rustling of the wind
Or is it just that i need a friend
Someone keeps calling my name, my name”

-Harry Chapin "Someone is Calling my Name"
