We Are Weavers
by Jon Madian

[Listen to Audio!]

we are weavers
woven into and from 
an ancient ever renewing fabric
on an invisible loom
more subtle than breath

at one turn 
we pull
to add to our own design
to sing each life's most important song
i am, i belong

in another turn 
we push 
to etch the themes 
built into pyramid, cathedral
and telescope, all designed to search 
the mystery of hope & will
 
each of us, if our life is blessed,
leaves sufficient yarn
for the next generation
to pick up the many living threads
whose origins are beyond 
the pure geometry of stars
and with bone and marrow shuttle  
we leave the foundation
for those who will weave the fabric of tomorrow
