Tale in Sturdy Fabric



Carefully I wove my tale in sturdy fabric.
Time passed quickly as each line thickened and broke apart
A sheen appeared on the many-hued thread
The thread purposefully laced with magic, dreams, a blessing, and luck in the center loops in and out of the frame
my thoughts in serenity
for all my tale represents are my deepest innards

when I grow up, I want to be a rushing, cascading, thirst-quenching river
A tall, gentle mountain covered in cherry blossoms in autumn.
A breezy calm sunny day, a friendly embrace in spring
A brilliant cold nose in winter
love lives, and laughter rings out in play among my strings
Carefully I wove my tales in fabric
lost in my thoughts
