The poet weaves a tapestry
of sentences and rhymes
with words, both good and evil
of schemes and lives and times
feelings are the backdrop
that color truths and lies
words, like threads through fabric
make intricate designs
phrases hooked together
provide the ties that bind
with memories in the stitches
of loved ones who have died
emotions are the colors
they make us laugh and cry
tight threads bound together
fond hellos and sad goodbyes
form fringes round the edges
of the tapestry of life[/center]
