Goodness me, the cycle of pain sends us all the way round the Ferris wheel of sentiment, doesn't it... here's a pithy little piece like wot I haven't done in a while. As I have been given to understand from a Short Story Tutor, so-called "wisdom" teaching is perhaps more part of the American writing culture than it is back here, so you may like this more than me... or not, as the case may be...!! :)) LOL K xx Had my left hip freed today - yey!! I can at last sit down!

TAPESTRY


Life is a secret burning thread -
threaded through a needle of choice.

Your fabric of time is stretched on a frame
and there your days are woven in stitches.

Sometimes your needle is Jehovah Rapha,
mending your tears;

At others it is a wicked stepmother's plot,
injecting your heart with poison.

But your tapestry is testimony
to the decisions you make,
so choose your needles carefully:

Making your thread of solid gold
embossed with wisdom's pearls.




PS Think Carole King would be cringeing at this!! :)) Sorry, Carole: "It's too late"!!
