weave words into light

weave words into light
note from self

this is her task
and her joy—
be still and weave
words into light

open a groove
wipe away
cobwebs, whisk
out the dust

tune the heart—
clearing is key
to weave light
into words

now, wait

urging won’t work
tempt them in
the merest hint
follow that trace

One more thought is make the controversial first stanza the final stanza

  It was the final stanza Fran didn’t think fit, not the first. ????

  Thanks, I will. I’ve pared the poem down since. Fran didn’t feel the final stanza belonged there.
  Love,

    Fran has more experience than I, but I disagree. The first stanza introduces the weaver and her joy

    But I do like it both ways. So you can’t go wrong
