Weave

Flying down the warp of life

past the constant shuttle

of many colored wefts,

there is no one of them

you can take with you —

Nothing that you swiftly cross

can satisfy you

in your speeding course

Take satisfaction

in the silken strength

wherewith you are designed

and in the splendid order

of the loom

and in the dance that opens ways

to make room

for endless looping brightness

And feel yourself enfolded in the colors,

each one reliant on your clear integrity

that doesn’t waver in its steady place

within the cosmic frame

that holds your life.
