Weaved And Woven Poem by Annalee Somerville

Weaved And Woven



In the tapestry of time,
each thread intertwines,
with the essence of ancestors,
through the bloodlines.

A life unique,
a path self-chosen,
through trials and tribulations,
yet unbroken.

From the depths of despair,
where love was scarce,
a spirit resilient,
refusing to be ensnared.

The red rocky road,
rugged and steep,
became the crucible,
where strength was reaped.

The past, a heavy cloak,
woven with pain,
yet, from its fibers,
wisdom to gain.

Part native blood,
a river of stories untold,
of guilt and shame,
but also of courage bold.

From the ashes of the past,
a new form rises,
no longer bound,
by the old disguises.

A pheonix in flight,
on wings of change,
embracing the futrue,
vast and strange.
