Our lives can be described through the language of pictorial depiction

So can humankind’s relation to our Creator-God, often with conviction

An older style of textile art uses crisscross threads woven on a loom

Spelling out various colored patterns as if never running out of room

A rich tapestry of human expression that accents a given Godly beauty

Done more out of an inner prompting than some type of required duty

A set of interlacing threads — the vertical warp and horizontal woof

Forming colored and intricate designs that have little need for proof

If God were to be viewed as the parallel threads looming ever upward

Perhaps humans are the threads woven left to right, advancing cross-ward

Threads intimately enmeshed with one another, linking human to divine

One depending on the other to define the relation, mysteriously sublime

Threads of a diverse humanity that course their lives through the weave

They can intersect the infinite God of beauty, lovingly may they believe

Tapestry is a woof-faced weaving with all the warp threads being hidden

Like Earthly lives lived but with God’s ethereal Spirit, as scripture-written
