The Weaver
Behold... an artisan
crafting his masterpiece,
intricately interwoven strands,
simple, yet complex;
aware that each fiber
is crucial to balance the whole.
The finale can be stunning;
bejeweling forests
with misted diamonds
and sun-splashed pearls.
Behold... an artisan
who often kindles*
tears or joyous smiles
with brocaded inspiration.
He threads words
into verse and saga
in silken, filigreed patterns...
spinning the web
from within himself.
The finale can be stunning;
bedazzling minds
with diamond clarity
and ardent emotion.
Such artistries are core
to the tapestried legends
that meander through time.
