The Weaver's Song


  Oh celestial beings glittering in halo divine
     You've floated in universe on eternal timeline
       Years and ages so miniature for you to count
    A lover's measure of eternity now I recount

  The symphony dissolves curling magic in the air
     No grand charades, just a forlorn weaver's prayer
       He sings for his love, a foregone red-necked bird
    Though demented with age, memories never blurred

  His quivering voice over the valley sprinkles dew
    Fingers weaving yarn orchestrate fir trees in blue
     Blazing dusk in golden sequins drapes bare numb feet
   Flames of his faith warm his drenched tattered seat

   Smooth velvet symphony of soothing union in spring
     Hums in shivering breeze, white layers forbid to sing
      Entwined in azure embrace time comes to a standstill
    Apart, his heart dragged through unending days of chill

   Unbeknownst of numbers, age he weaves forever in recluse
     His melodious love drips through crevices of his muse
       Adorns pearly fir in Autumn with woven Cashmere shawl 
    When Autumn ends, he unknits it again to a huge ball

   His incessant penance in separation enchants the twirling light 
      Mountains drape themselves in love of gossamer veil so bright
        Together, time halts, his love is five feet of yarn he weaves
      Apart, time floats, his love grows four seasons old he believes
