Safety Net - Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer

[Lawrence Robinson]

Safety Net
                
This morning I woke 
thinking of all the people I love
and all the people they love
and how big the net
of lovers. It felt so clear,
all those invisible ties
interwoven like silken threads
strong enough to make a mesh
that for thousands of years
has been woven and rewoven
into a net to catch us all.
Sometimes we go on 
as if we forget 
about the net. Believing only
in the fall. But the net
is just as real. Every day,
with every small kindness,
with every generous act, 
we strengthen it. Notice, 
even now, how 
as the whole world 
seems to be falling, 
the net is there for us 
as we walk the tightrope of the day.
Notice how every tie matters.
