Jackie has sent the following poem by an unknown author because it seemed to fit "Weaving The Dream!" so very well. I agree and am posting it here with the additional invitation for others to post poetry which seems to fit the theme of this website. If you know the author of any submitted piece of work please be sure to add the name! Penny/pax


Threads
- - - - - - - - - -
Examine life's tapestry,
Find yourself there.
See how the threads of your life
Are woven together
With those of others.

Threads of love and work
And tears and laughter
Stretch back across the years
To ancestors unknown.
Friends unmet.

Threads newly woven.
Tie your cares and hopes
To familiar faces
And those yet forming
Whose threads must still be spun.

Joy and sorrow.
Delight and sadness
Are entwined in the fabric
Of our lives

If we could remove
A thread of sorrow.
Would we not risk unraveling
Our joy also?

Could we pull out a thread
Of pain, without removing
The love and compassion
That are knotted to it?

So....
Let the wheel spin,
The shuttle fly:
The cloth is whole
And we are one.
