Woven Together

T. S. Lewis on Sep 23, 2010

This poem is the original version of Cut from the same Cloth. The word woven connected the idea of my wife and I being bound by a greater force.

We are woven together like threads of cotton

Rough textures braided between silk

A blind man’s fingers could explain our silence

The quiet joy and predictable anger

Good times intermixed with times hard to forget

Those periods when you brought me down, I prepared to drown

The times you were drowning and you fought against saving

When our fabric was cut away, our DNA remained the same

Drawn to each other like lack is to plenty

a unique and cool poem. Btw, Lewis, I thought I have commented this earlier, or maybe you resubmitted? My earlier comment not there.
But this is not important, most important is for me to say “well done”.

This is a unique way to describe the good and bad, ups and downs of our human relationships. But when we are bound by love, we find a way to hold onto each other despite everything else.
