The Weaver's TaleThis is a poem I wrote in 5th grade based on a story a friend told me. It was the story of a weaver hidden in the hills that only children could see. Someday I'd like to sit down and write a full story to it, when I have time. I'm also in the process of adapting this poem into a song. Across the hills where paths unwind The weaver weaves though she is blind She weaves in silence on her own In and out but she is not alone Weaving the colors of night and day While children sit outside and play The tapestry grows brighter yet With the pattern the weaving's set Deep in the dark she weaves by fire While children sit and watch beside her Her weavings sing with songs untold Showing off her heart of gold In her chair she weaves all night Until the dawn breaks through with light Even then she weaves away And she weaves throughout the day Even though she cannot see The grand design of her tapestry She knows it beauty in her heart The beauty with it from the start Through her window you see her face Her eyes hold her weaving in embrace Still she weaves through rain or shine Adding to her grand design Now she is but a memory That's all that's left of her in me And every night I say a prayer That when I reach heaven she's weaving there | |||||
