"Life is a tapestry with the journey of our existence woven within the twisted, hued threads . . . ." Quote by _Constance I watched the sunset today oh, it was so beautiful the suns healing rays washed over me with mauve, purple and blue hues in the sky as the clock of my existence ticked away I watched till it slipped away my life has been like a meandering stream with calmness, and wild turns and dips my existence from birth a difficult journey the wheels of time will never stop turning even when I am still weaving a tapestry of my existence creating a map of my life sometimes I am floating in a vast sea with no destination chartered and no shore in sight the depth of my fear is an endless puzzle oh yes, it is true life is a circle from birth to death and beyond I am on a journey as my clock ticks, ticks, ticks when I am broken I am like a flower with wilted petals like a butterfly with damaged wings and my poetic pen is empty of words and my muse flown away my soul waiting I fold my petals, I fold my wings and God whispers fear not dear one the gates of Heaven will open to a new forever, ever existence then, suddenly I am colors I am a bird soaring, flying, flying, flying I am powerful, so powerful yet, I weep, weep, weep at the pollution, wars, starvation on earth the effects of global warming, the storms earthquakes, the death of forests, loss of habitate for God's beloved creatures, the use of guns the race and religious unfairness but I am powerful I will work to make a difference in my short time as the clock of my existence clicks, clicks, clicks as my existence fades I breathe for I am the answer each of us can be the way in some small way
