                                             our lives
                                        are woven into
                                a picture of where we live
                              walking history through time
                          births and deaths ricochet through
                             words and voices coloring each
                       thread tinting the boldness of its tone 
               life and breath are the warp and weft of its fabric
    the rhythm of the flying shuttle mirrors the beating of my heart
                and meters the momentum of this living tapestry
                                                home

It's only my second piece on here, and I have stayed pretty isolated with writing. So feedback is such a treat....It shocks me a bit to think someone else is reading what I wrote, much less liking it! Thank you!
