Tapestry |
My life has been a tapestry of rich and royal hue |
An everlasting vision of the ever-changing view |
A wondrous woven 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, 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 |
Just what he was there for, or where he ought to go |
Once he reached for something golden, hanging from a tree |
And his hand came down empty |
Soon within my tapestry, along the rutted road |
He sat down on a river rock and turned into a toad |
It seemed that he had fallen into someone’s wicked spell |
And I wept to see him suffer, though I didn’t know him well |
As I watched in sorrow, there suddenly appeared |
A figure, gray and ghostly, beneath a 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 |
He’s come to take me back |
