I am a tapestry

 

I am not finished nor will be,

I am a tapestry.

A soul that drifts in this body,

It is my prodigy.

 

I blend with you as much I can,

Within this short life span.

But what is done when time is done,

Same soul new life begun.

 

Each time I see so differently,

For all eternity.

Picture perfect,  don’t want to be!

Unseen means more to me.

 

So when you look upon my flesh,

A mere camouflage mesh.

Behold and see what is beyond,

The soul that laced this bond.

 

No; religion, gender or race,

Just purity and grace.

I am not finished nor will I be,

I am a tapestry.

...and what IS a tapestry after all, but a thousand strands, woven together so that certain parts show and certain parts are concealed. Is that not what EVERY human life is? The real question, one which you seem well on the way to addressing, is: "Is the picture that is revealed by your weaving the picture that the Master Weaver would have you represent?"--"An ever-lasting vision/ Of the ever-changing view" Very well put, Melody!

What a great write. To compare life to a tapestry perfectly. Has a John Lennon feel to it. Going into my favs!

[Daniel Gardner]

Very good flow through out the poem. The picture helps bring the poem to life but still leaves your imagination to play with visions given in the poem.

I love it. I like how it tells that you are unfished.

[Kenneth The Poet]

An excellent write. No words minced, no meaning hidden. Just pitch perfect poetry.

[Muse]

Splendid work! The imagery...woven together with your words... spun together....to create a romantic piece of tapestry.
