The Weaver's Silk

Thread by thread, she weaves her tale,
Sewing magic into cloth spun of the wool
Of the dragon and sprinkled with the
Stars spilled from the unicorn’s horn.

Thread by thread, her story grows,
Eyes wide shut as her nimble fingers
Dance across the loom, as adroit as
Those of a fisherman untangling his line.

Thread by thread, her words take flight,
Letting her fly over the highest mountains
On the wings of a majestic eagle and
Swim through the seas with the dolphins.

Thread by thread, she makes her life
Something more than ordinary,
Something worth telling and retelling,
To generations of ambitious children.

Thread by thread, the silk comes to an end,
But when the last tie is severed, still her
Story lives to tell the tale of a woman
Who wove her life into the hearts of all.
