Unraveled The tapestry I stitched with care unraveled at the hem I shaped the ends with golden shears until the pleats were knives. With delicate fingers I twined the thread but blood drops stained the somber lines that my life had carved in times of wasted breath. I wished to mend the cloth with rainbow thread that binds but tatters depth was laced with frowns that held my soundless soul. My sewing box brimmed with pastel hues that made my needle sing but soon the silver tip was cold and bound with some twisted lace. If spoonfuls of morning will fade the folds of ebon night I’ll clutch the hem of rags and keep the hearts that blend despite the frayed seams of my mortal dress. |

Hi Cheyenne! This is another great piece from you!
This verse is my favorite. It could almost make its own poem-or maybe a haiku. It brings up some good images.
I wished to mend the cloth with
rainbow thread that binds
but tatters depth was laced with frowns
that held my soundless soul.
And in the end you remind me that this fabric, these threads are imbedded in my mortal dress. I stand in awe. This is great stuff!
Smiles~~smiles to you~~Ellen
