Tapestry

Tapestry 

We exist as threads

Intricately woven

Between the then and now

Memories like silk

Through the eye of the needle

Embroidered emotions

Braided as bandage

Quilting our scars

Stitched together

Through that which connects us

A web of emotion

Colourful commonalities

Joy, pain

Love, loss 

Lust, envy 

It is in our most tender moments

Our most intimate whispers

Our most frightening desires

Where we find the courage

To adorn ourselves

In the lives we have created

Where our mistakes are made art

Our regrets turn to poetry

And our shame is silenced
