Tapestry 

In twisted skeins of harsh colors we wove a life together. The threads clashed against each the other, rubbing their fibers raw. Blurring the boundaries between the weft and warp of our lives. Breaking in to bits only to be bound back together in small weak knots. And so the tapestry of our lives was created. 

As harsh to the touch as a rough wool carpet. As tangled as a silk cocoon yet to be unraveled. A mosaic of unmatched colors with no rhyme or reason. Yet a pattern develops that binds us together. It gives strength to the fabric upon the loom that is our lives. 

So we have learn to share the task of binding the threads. Creating new patterns that blend and harmonize. It will never be perfect but it is our own and unique Tapestry of our love.
