COMING TOGETHER
Like a word, or a sentence, a phrase or verse
it is but a piece, yet a necessary part;
But to the reader, must impact, or connect
and weave it must, down into their soul,
each word a necessary part of the piece,
like threads or strands fit to the form
they weave in and out, perfectly placed,
side by side, and through the grain,
all coming together like one as a whole
the story made stronger till unified;
But, if one word weaves not to shape,
hold the story, mold or create,
it must be pulled out, for it will weaken
the piece of work or art just made;
then the finished whole of a project completed
will stand alone, and be made strong.
Often times it’s much like life
trying to fit together as one
like the phrases or words
created and shaped:
its become the lesson for
the weaver in me.
