Arachne's Web

By heinzs

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Arachne's Web The Weaver works wonders Life's tapestry to unfold - each thread a different hue, woven with finite precision... the removal of even one will cause the weaving to separate at the flaw. The grand design takes shape in a rampant rainbow of colors - joys and sorrows, wars and plagues - the rise and fall of civilizations - each scene embroidered and woven into the ever-changing backdrop. The shuttle zips at lightspeed between the warp and weft. At intervals undetermined some threads are cut and left to dangle a while before being worked into the tapestry. Our lives inexorably intertwine at the Weaver's whim and fancy - each thread a vital part of the developing whole. We are never to know when our thread shall break. 2-18-2002This feels unfinished, but I'm having a "block" on it. Any suggestions? Changes? Thanks!
