Weave your lives into one
One colorful rich fabric
Woven tightly, close and strong.
Stitch your hearts to one another
With strong threads of conversation and love
That none may rip asunder.
Mend the holes. Patch the rough spots.
And wear your love
In peace and comfort
For all your days
Her hands snipped threads
Her needle soared
Seaming together
The smooth soft silk.
Piece by piece
A form evolved
As piece by piece
Their lives were joined.
A form to match the contours of her body
A life melded to hers
Enfolding her in comfort:
His arms and white silk
