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.
