The Weaving Out Of Time

Folder: 
I love post poems

Theirs is a strange art, the weaving of

 

Air and sound into a weightless tapestry

 

Hanging in the church, a vibrating cloth free

 

Of sorrows that clothes men with God's love

 

 

 

Strange, strange is the shuttle of sound that moves

 

In and out, out and in around the key

 

Thread of beats in time, the time that he

 

Draws to weave a cloth of sound for another

 

 

 

This is the strangest art, weaving of time

 

And sound into a cloth one cannot feel

 

With the hands; we can only touch

 

It with the ears and soul

 

 

 

A rime is a poor needle with which to thread such

 

A cloth

 

How can such a needle seal ?
