Tapestry
~~~
Threadbare the twisted secrets
Faded in the sun of history
Old cloth stitched in long days
A life revealed in the tapestry
~~~
The dust of days casts dreary
Seeping like grey rust, frozen
In the time seemed so far past
And the cloth, as yet not woven
~~~
Curse the old hands with need
And the needle now, eye small
When what is left of story told
The most important part of all
~~~
What e’er be bore by the loom
Poured soul upon that tapestry
When your life is woven in love
Only then can you truly be free

I love this one! A new favorite for sure! I have a thing for antiques and anything vintage, really. I like objects that tell a story, and are just a tad mysterious. I especially love how you pulled it together at the end. A tapestry of life!
Thanks dear friend!
BTW, did I mention that I am vintage? ….😁
Haha, I think it’s pretty safe to say we all know I have a thing for you, my dear! 😘
When your life is woven in love
Only then can you truly be free
Epic ending to a brilliant stellar post.
Thank you so much Yasmin!
My pleasure, Brad. Take care.
Very nice Brad. It always difficult for me to pick a favorite part of one of your poems. The lines woven together so elegantly to create a visual picture. I see an old wrinkled woman at a loom. Her heart pouring into a lost love. Nicely done my friend. Sending love and hugs
