Trying Best To Untangle the Goldsmiths Weave List
One passing day come the end of March
just before or after I now can barely
remember as so far back was it
The clock's jumped forward or went
back to either summer or fall
Whilst sat in front of my old trusted
spinning Jenny after checking my
kaleidoscope of cotton tops were
affirmative and ready
Patiently threaded the eye of every
needle then took 1 final look at
the clock hanging upon the wall
As was I wanting to untangle and spin
a goldsmith's weave I was formally told
So deeply and intrinsically I detached
meditated and relax with each inhale
of breath
Then placed both of my hands and
faith upon the wheel transfixed
ever further by it's singing spin
As searching was I for any form
or sign of a God for me to believe
in or in did he exist
And after I do not or can recall
over how many hours it took
Whence upon I looked down
what lay before me
Was a patchwork quilt of technicolor
rainbow interwoven sky
Some colours the likes of which I
had never seen since or before nor
have the cotton for
So all I know to this day in regards to
the question does God exist
Is simply this
When you see something as divine
and spectacular as a rainbow
in all it's technicolor majesty and
ethereal glory in the sky
Knowing that it was created by
something far greater than the
realms and possibilities of man
And you choose have faith and believe
that entity to be called God
Who you can count on and lean on
and pray to help you make sense of
the true meaning of life
Then I for 1 hope and pray the pot of
gold you metaphorically seek at the
end of your own individual rainbow
Is God's everlasting grace and love
and the heaven you so seek as you
deservedly made the list
