-- Sewn into the Fabric of Existence –

John Herlihy

Sewn into the fabric of the dawn,

The feathers of a dove.

Sewn into the fabric of the day,

The diamond light of love.

Sewn into the fabric of dusk,

The falling of autumn leaves.

Sewn into the fabric of night,

Bat skin fur smelling of attic eaves.

Sewn into the fabric of the moon,

The gentle caress of moonglow.

Sewn into the fabric of stars,

Revelations of what they know.

Sewn into the fabric of the universe,

The mystery of unseeing.

Sewn into the fabric of life,

The awakening of being.

Sewn into the fabric nature,

The unique individuality of soul.

Sewn into the fabric of existence,

The rhythmic breath of the Spirit.
