Tapestry |
| My life has been a tapestry of rich and royal hues. |
| An ever lasting vision of the ever changing views. |
| A wondrous world of magic in bits of blue and gold |
| A tapestry to feel and see impossible to hold |
| Once amid the soft silver sadness in the sky |
| There came a man of fortune, just a drifter passing by. |
| He wore a torn and tattered cloth around his leathered hide |
| And a coat of many colors, yellow green on either side |
| He moved with some uncertainty as if he didn’t know |
| Once he reached for something golden hanging from a tree |
| And his hand cam down empty. |
| Soon within my tapestry along the rutted road |
| He sat down on a river rock and he turned into a toad |
| It seems as if he’d fallen into someones mistic spell |
| And I wept to see him suffer tho I did not know him well |
| As I watched in sorrow there suddenly appeared |
| a figure grey and ghostly beneath the flowing beard |
| In times of deepest darkness I’ve seen him dressed in black |
| Now my tapestry’s unraveling he’s come to take me back |
