Fabric

I just saw the picture of the underwater sculpture off the coast of Grenada, West Indies, in Honor of the African Ancestors at the Bottom of the Atlantic.  Stunning.  So much is woven into our world, and we are such a tiny piece of it all.

We are all woven

Into the fabric.

It dresses the world

In tapestry

In damask,

Sky caught in our hair

Earth squished between our toes

Oceans and rivers

Pumped through our veins.

We notice from one tiny dot

At the edge of the universe

From behind,

So many knots and weaves,

A splendid blend of knots and weaves

Sky hair

Earth toes

Oceans and rivers and minnows

Swim in our veins.

Hints of the picture

God sees

A millionth billionth

Of the hint of the picture

God sees.
