What we’ve woven

Postby Daryvas » 27 Oct 2010, 19:58

I have shared 2 poems before this one and will share even more unless I am requested to no longer do so. Feedback is appreciated even if it is of a critical nature. I welcome your thoughts and inspirations! The poems I am sharing are a direct result of me opening myself to Awen over a year ago. Let the Inspiration, Creativity and Love flow to us, through us and around us.


What we’ve woven


What was the color and cloth of love then,
faded-grayed, graded-frayed?
So many threaded broken looms
in empty practiced rooms;
half done weaves in familiar patterns
with crooked warps and wefts left hanging.
But we, dreaming reality, have into this cloth
woven Love’s brightest and best threads.
We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. - Teilhard de Chardin

I really love this... I often think of the weaving we do in the non physical reality in which we spend so much of our time. Thank you for posting this. Samhain blessings to you.

I love the use of various levels of meaning combined with ambiguity (supported by the poem, a positive thing), and the word-play, and the meta-image of the subject of the poem appearing within in the structure of the poem itself.

That's the best way I can explain it.
