Musings On Faith

Newborn is 
a blank new slate
upon which ethos 
ethics stake
driven deeper 
by adopted faith
hand me downs 
their fabrics make
dress codes donned 
with rules to break
with every stitch
an idea to shake
a thread to pull

the seams
of what seems

to see in full
the creator’s face
or one’s own 
in tatted lace
