Unknotted Thread

[Verse 1]
Rain tapping out a rhythm, soft against the pane,
Each drop a quiet question, washing out the strain.
My textbook, pages open, a world in liminal grey,
Warm tea in my cracked teacup, chasing doubt away.
The lamp's soft, electric glow, on faded, yellowed kin.

[Chorus]
A hidden thread unspooled, finally clear to see,
This pattern in my mind, a quiet victory.
The knots dissolving slowly, a logic taking hold,
A story in the silence, beautifully told.

[Verse 2]
The city's distant humming, a familiar, steady beat,
But here inside my haven, the understanding feels complete.
A concept, once so tangled, now begins to truly gleam,
Like colors dyed just right, in a half-forgotten dream.
A fabric re-imagined, for paths I've yet to mend.

[Bridge]
For every ancestor's wisdom, a path I weave anew,
This quiet, hard-won knowledge, feels deeply, wholly true.
A subtle shift of vision, from what was to what will be,
A gentle, forward momentum, for just my soul and me.

[Outro]
The rain still falls outside, but my mind is finally free.
Unknotted, whole, and humming, a quiet melody.
