Sea of Frames

SEA OF FRAMES

Believe in difficult things,
stretched around a frame,
one thread at a time,
faithfully day by day.

Some seem monotonous
in naked tones of gray,
or simple flecks of blue.

In hope and faith,
in abiding love
we let the Master
craft us into His masterpiece.

If we’d dare open our eyes
we’d see the sea
of frames big and small,
ships that sail
all around us.

We feel the stress, pulled tight,
feel each needle stab,
but the monogamous nature
of the threadiness —
a breathless bride
for the King of kings.
