Scintillating threads of brilliance
Delicate attenuated lifelines
And pure splendor at your fingertips

Golden strands of elsyian divine
Arras's glory inside your Spinster hands
As the sonancy of pure spirits intertwine

Profusionous ribbons of weaved lives withstand
The ripping and repairing of shimmering souls
Withal the abductions of daughters of families at demand

Tapestries create illusions of a utopia
To stabilize the world's serenity
Realms beyond are a threatening phobia

My poem is inspired by the amazing book by Gennifer Albin called, "Crewel."

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;

Favorite Quote:
&quot;Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.&quot; -Lord Alfred Tennyson
