hold this string
she said
i am making a tapestry
stand where you are
she said
i will run away
like your wild child
and weave and weave
our dreams across the earth
stay there
she said
so i know what home is
and i will come back to you
with a tapestry
time warp
Weaving and weaving our whole lives!! What an interesting poem.Love it
From the sad admission of the narrator of Gogi Grant’s “The Wayward Wind” to Billy Joel’s lovely “You’re My Home” to the gentle musings of the greatest poets, this poem captures an amazing truth about love’s stability and center, even in the midst of a (somewhat understandable) wayward wanderer’s heart. Fills me. I have run away. I have stayed. There is deeper love in the latter.
