Tapestry

He wears the tapestry of his life draped across his soul like some sort of doom,
some sort of gloom, when all along it was giving him wings
to soar above
every single tomb.

A heart cracked wide
finally allows his eyes to see
what before they'd always denied:

the subtle rhythms of life
that speak to him,
the pulse of a world
balanced precariously
on the blade of a knife.

He stops to listen, he starts to breathe...
inside a child's vision slowly returning
to the place it ought to be.

For within the darkness
he had found a single trail of light. 

When always before
it had been obscured
by never ending bright.

In his journey
from hell's embrace to heaven's gate
he finally found the self
that never fades
and never doubts.

A wayward star, once sure and tall
a mighty oak - that desired
to experience a fall

in order to one day stand
for one and all.
