| Tapestry Scattered pages flying about Floating midway in the air I pull one down Photographs of emotion Hanging from the ceiling Leaves rush in from the turret window Standing, looking at the world below Roads not yet taken, Walden Ponds to be discovered Mystery and curiosity suck me in The room darkens the day waning Scenery changes Ocean rushes onto a beach filled with echoes of the past Ectasy, sorry, frustration all blending into a marbled scarlet sunset The night seems dark, but slowly, stars emerge from the sky Like small candles of light welcoming the Messiah All is not as it appears in this staged world Masks disappear, true appearances are revealed to their dukes The apple, already bitten, must be eaten My Odyssey awaits Stepping into a world of unknown Leaving Troy to deal with its own troubles The sea nymphs ready to help unveil mysteries hidden within the deep The web left to the fates Rhapsodes of life waiting to be woven The trunks heaved onto the boat Pages and photographs assimilate into one Personal memory tucked away for safekeeping The journey begins Slipping away into the wrinkles of time *May the wind always be at your back, and the sun always upon your face, and may the winds of destiny carry you aloft to dance with the stars.* |
