Woven By Time... A TAPESTRY

A TAPESTRY

the light of the sun

the glow of the moon

the sparkle of the stars

threads of light woven by time

A TAPESTRY

the colors of a palette 

the notes of a song

the words of a poet

threads of artistry woven by time

A TAPESTRY

the PRESENCE of NOW

the memory of a yesterday

the vision of a tomorrow 

threads of BEING woven by time

A TAPESTRY

the passions of soul

the call of breath 

the Phoenix Rising 

threads of alchemy woven by time.

BE It Woven

Color and hue of many a textured thought
Nubs and frails that the day has brought
Silken threads of sweet spirit sublime
With strength of heart in each threaded line
And what is this that you perceive
To bring to this cloth you do weave
The warp and weft of faith be chosen
The cloth of benevolence be it woven.

Woven Threads

Woven threads
Thought and being
Solitude
Moments of intimacy
With the inner secrets of self
Passion in quietude
To move this soul's Presence to praise
A silent resonant call is heard
Wonder, oneness, echo a repose.

Rose Marie Raccioppi
