Jude Herrick Poet Rhyme

Patterns of Our Fabric 2

These are the moments that stir our hearts 
      and make our spirits soar, like Phoenix's, 
    Doves and Condors, wearing the freedom 
              of the sky as a shawl.

          The moments' corridors that remind us 
          of the closeted beauty that binds us, that we're here
                  to showcase down 
             the runway.
     To set our apparel in it's halls and byways 
        (by the way) of Malls of shops and shelters and
          abodes and day to day patterns of way.

        Let us embrace them fully, let us revel in their grace, 
           in the gown of that embrace of swaddling nativity.

           For in these simple wiles of life, 
       we find our truest fashion of place
    and let them lighten and warm our days.

      To change the garb when the world seems heavy, and joy seems far away.
Let us remember these breathable garments of interchangeability, and put on a new hat when the climate needs.

              For in the subtle power of fitting choices, 
      we find the fabrics that fill our mold of 
          wearing the seasons mystery in the mime 
      of divine dressings, for the part in a royal wedding.

            To face each new day with courage, 
        and to greet the dawn with hope's song of white linen
  mouthing the atmosphere as signs in the jetstream.

     So let us live each moment fully, 
         in the wonder of life's mystery,
              and be grateful for each treasure, 
           in this journey's tapestry, 
      weaving us along it's strings of clothing.

     The whispering tailor of Life-tugs at our seams, 
          at the shoreline, in tease - laundering, 
      a fresh scent on the cuff, 
          on the cusp of the designing, 
      our fashions' legs, hoods and sleeves, 
       of a blueprint style cloaked 
      by God's laundry list of Commandments 
            of care label instructionings.
