life A’s Tapestries

The rich tapestry of life is appliquéd with music and laughter
Beautified by love, fulfilment, solace and belonging
Darned with alcohol or our vice of preference
Torn through anguish, grief, jealousy, hate and despair

Illuminated with vivid threads of hope, dreams, poetry and wonder
Patched with loyalty and dedication of friends and family
Decorated with vanity and our propensity for ego-driven pursuits
Embellished through hindsight, desire and wishful thinking
Embroidered with depictions of heartbreak, rapture and memories

The Warp; it is the sin and regret hidden discreetly beneath the weft
The Weft; it is the moment of achievement and pride for all to see
These interlaced threads pass back and forth as doth fate through time
The artistry; exhibiting emblems of trust, kindness and peace
Delicately woven in are allegories open to the voyeur's interpretation
When completed it is adorned upon the walls of endless time
A magnificent record of existence for all there to perceive
