-- The Loom of Origins --

John Herlihy

In the loom of life’s tapestry

Lies the threads of life’s origins.

In the framework of the universe

Be found a loom of God’s making.

Not surprising life is a silk tapestry,

As humans struggle to find mastery.

In the loom of origins nothing found,

Something from nothing so profound.

Things appear, vanish, woven within,

No one seeks the origin of the wind.

Stars are threads interweaving time,

While within infinity lies a vast mine.

Stars fall into my consciousness to see,

Infinity and eternity living within me.
