Ageing Fabric

Life’s fabric - warp and weft, We loom both right and left But in that piece we weave Some loose ends we do leave So our cloth prone to fray As those yarns start to stray Of our weave we are proud. Perfection not allowed For what was grand affair Now sadly needs repair. Those ageing yarns break more. Loose ends appear galore. The unravelling weave Signals it's time to leave.

So true! The reminder of wear and tear/unravels within the innermost fear. Really creative woven piece :-)

Many thanks. A yarn I often spin. / Weaving I now explore. / But I just cannot win. / I see loose ends galore. Tony

Many thanks. This is how life must go. / It's in our DNA. / The rule that stops the show, / For all life must decay. Tony
