You are weaving a beautiful fabric to make into a garment for yourself. Your loom can weave with any substance you wish: the sneeze of an ant, the roar of a river, the fog of London. What would you include in your fabric, and why? What strengths or symbolism would these materials hold for you?
The softness of a cat's blink
I weave into
The kindness of a smile
I gather the ingriedients for my clothes.
The roar of my grief
I weave into
The Numbness of my acceptence
and I weave.
I will spin my love with my worry
and my passion with the whispers of the Crowd.
The people's stares I alternate with the sound
of the Fake Fire,
it blows softly, quietly.
My shirt is now warm
My pants are now strong
I shall not fall.
They gather cotton
I gather the ingriedients for my clothes,
I gather hope in all it's forms
As it struggles.
As i Reap the benifits
As it flourishes
The softness of a cat's blink
I weave into
The kindness of a smile
I gather the ingriedients for my clothes.
The roar of my grief
I weave into
The Numbness of my acceptence
and I weave.
I will spin my love with my worry
and my passion with the whispers of the Crowd.
The people's stares I alternate with the sound
of the Fake Fire,
it blows softly, quietly.
My shirt is now warm
My pants are now strong
I shall not fall.
They gather cotton
I gather the ingriedients for my clothes,
I gather hope in all it's forms
As it struggles.
As i Reap the benifits
As it flourishes
