six word fridays: seconds

18 Comments

a moment – all there is between

one breath and the next. respirated,

flowing between, around and amidst us.

spooled by time into something tangible;

knitted into thoughts we can touch,Six Word Fridays

shape into memories. imprinted. in the

steady passing of seconds – tick tock.


It’s Six Word Fridays again – go have some six-word fun at Making Things Up.

    Wow, I love the abstraction here. It’s a microanalysis of life. I also love the images of flow, spooling, knitting, imprinting. Very beautiful!

    I second (fourth?) what everyone else said. Spooled by time into something tangible especially 🙂

      Hi Kate,

      That line is how I think of motherhood. All these moments with my daughter spooled into deeply felt and cherished memories.

    I love how this slows the reader down to precisely ONE second, especially with the use of the word ‘knitted’. Thank you for this!
