Tapestry of Life

Tapestry of textures, rough and smooth entwined,
Interlacing suffering and joy,
Satin strands of blessing lovingly designed
Tangled knots attempting to destroy.

Paths are set before us, history unfurled,
Warnings and instruction to be heard,
Faith and hope encouraged in a fickle world,
Treasure to unlock within the word.

Krish R poetry anthology contest.

Two stanzas only in rhyme to match the first stanza that is given below

Woven are these pages in poetic verse,

With bare threads of our deepest feelings,

You will find laughter, tears and remorse,

and words of wisdom, prayer and healings.
