I have a story to tell of a lifetime
not yet finished since there is still time
it holds rich colors and dappled light
I admit too some very dark shapes and shades
those I suppose cannot be left out
alas were I to weave it together
could you be of some help to me
and assist the reweaving that’s needed
in order to see the grand tapestry it has become
one life mine or yours no matter or theirs next door or up the block
one section yes but also grand and illuminated
with wisdom light telling the story what we are here for what are we here for for what here are we
