Life’s Tapestry

One starts early in the picking of life’s threads

Such rich simplicity in primary colors

Weaved as a base

To suffice one’s beginning.

Moving up the thread-enhanced early colors of beginnings

One finds shades of choice

Embark on a weave into a  greater reality

Pastels chosen find solace in the imagination

Where dreams co-mingle with reality

Choices become more challenging

One’s gray period finds sadness has power

Such dire blanching of the weave also makes ready

The vivacity of happiness

Where bright primary color beginnings

Have traveled through trials of shading

Now part of a whole

A horizon of tapestry ending as a beginning

Suggesting the sliver of horizontal yellow-red

A dawning’s reminder of many more

Endings and beginnings to come.
