The days so drab did pulsate,
as tendrils of the past,
drew creepingly beside me;
held my heart so fast.
And in the watered moments,
when threads of hope were lost,
I gathered up the detritus;
wove dregs with aching dross.
Tendril;
noun: A slender threadlike appendage of a climbing plant, often growing in a
spiral form, that stretches out and twines around any suitable support; something
resembling a plant tendril, esp. a slender curl or ringlet of hair.
