Cut From the Same

Enough, to touch the hem of who you 
are,
To discover how you're stitched 
together,
To hold onto the threads which 
compose you.
What makes you?
The way you cut and the way you are 
cut.
A material of mine, designed to 
clothe my frame,
I feel the subtle fabric of another like 
me,
On you, I note the same fragile 
embroidery
That I feel across my skin.
Now, richly robed, I keep you around 
me
And will wear you eternally.

Wow Annie. beautiful work. shameful things are done by shameful people of low profile. materials of love are materials of perfect minds. love with a deep cut is shameful and painful, never mind, wear love only with God's word. more from you Annie.
