Tapestry

This knot..... 
A second of your time 
This colour........ 
a thought 

This ongoing composition, 
your time here, 
your doing, 
your volition 

Live your life 
as a tapestry 
Each knot, 
a thread in time 
Each colour, 
light or not 
This composition ..... 
sublime 

This colour of thought 
The knots you sought 
This winding thread, 
easy to break 
Together they hold 
On the paths you tread 
This tapestry you unfold 

This emerging picture of time, 
this colour 
The fullness of your knot, 
a little less duller, 
if your thoughts, 
are sublime 

Winding  thread, 
this image spread 
The pattern 
knots and colour, 
on lifes' satin 

Gold and silver knots 
Precious seconds 
This tapestry unravelling 
your thoughts, 
colour, travelling 

Tapestry, 
every knot a precious second 
every colour, 
a thought 
Tapestry, 
our lives caught 

Shown for all, 
every thought laid 
Tapestry, 
our lives displayed 
This composition, 
our lives, 
our volition 

Deepening colour play 
The  richness in your time 
Tapestry, 
woven through, 
winding thread 
The  things you do, 
the things you say 
The life you want to portray
