The Weavers Task - HIS will...

from the womb of time, warp and weft

threads torn, tattered, and frayed

woven anew with hands 

that reverently prayed

and so the threads ravaged by time

took on the light of the blessed divine

the light of stars, the moon and the sun

the weavers task in glory, HIS will done.

This Old Chinese Kimono

This old Chinese kimono a gift of days long since past
With gentle comfort and light feel upon this body cast
Worn, torn and tattered in spots here, there and about
Discard me not I hear its many threads cry and shout
I welcome your body and the feel of its warmth and pride
I am ever ready to wrap you, though old, put me not aside.
