I liked the metaphor of life as a string- it`s a really cool idea! The way that life never really ends, and how we aren`t in control is an interesting concept to explore.

The string simile works incredible. I also love how you weaved a metaphor for love underneath the surface simile. The last two lines are profound, in that it is so difficult and rare for a person to unravel life's strings.
Welcome to TPS! I look forward to reading more from you.

This makes me think that we just make it all too complex to be satisfied and keep trying to quench the thirst near the water. Happiness is priceless and every one of us will be the richest once we know. Thanks for sharing.

Really liked the metaphor of life being like "a bundled ball of string." Creatively and cleverly composed; philosophically and artistically intriguing-- much enjoyed.

The tapestry of our lives is frayed at the edges as we weave in and out together in a world collapsing around us. Good images. Thank you for sharing.
