Patchwork In Psalm

                 
                i

Is it really you?
who melts down to a thread
silkworm that crawls into
every  fiber  of being
each letter and queue;

of how I am made
by a patient tailor,
from substance and plan
wherein knits a heart.
               
                ii
Heal the blindness from
oils of your blood
under the skin
and in a breath
for I smell your ghost
inside each tuft,
making your presence stark
available, near.
             
              iii
Do ask me again
just once more for
surrender from old flesh;
weave on,
sewing us back into
the seamless sphere
with You.

    The write is infinitely wondrous, and how you put the creator our designer and His
    workings with us is awesome...Thanks again for that special glimpse into Him, once again! Bravo! Rosemary

    Stanza 11 remove second line and put it in last.

    other than that I like it as it stands. A great piece for thought; to reach an audience that is too complex to touch.

    cheers my Di, you always impress me

    I love the closure

    • Hey sweets!
      There are only 4 stanzas divided by 3 portions. Are you meaning 11th LINE?
      to stanza or to the last line?

      Great to see you. Thank you!

    From my experience this sense of things is probably most likely true. Being as old as I am, I think my point of view is a little more nuanced and of course it probably is, as yours will be someday but unfortunately for the most part I have found that things are pretty much this way.

    Good Luck

      Yes. Things are usually that way. But we need the Lord for the greater view that our eyes can't see.Thank you so much!
