I watch her skillful hands
weave in and out a tapestry
of wonder with each strand.
Sundry threads and simple tools
transform into pure art,
as hands of wise experience
and knowledge do their part.
The mystery of what will be
grows clearer with each step,
while nimble fingers dance with yarn
in patterns intricate.
Row by row her patient heart
follows the master plan
and varies not to take or add
at whim’s playful command.
Capricious art she’ll wisely save
for yet another day,
but this at hand calls for each stitch
to be precisely made.
On and on the rhythm sure
moves hands that know by heart
the necessary discipline
that births the weaver’s art.
Winter’s chill will find her still
faithfully at work
in her mesmerizing waltz
with the warp and woof.
Then one day the last thread ends.
All the work is done,
and in beauty all may see
her treasure formed by love.
With skilled control and purposed plan,
the weaver crafts her art
and leaves to those who come behind
a treasure from the heart.
