Sewing Lessons

                  - On Crafting a Human Life
 
It is worth it,
going inside.
It mends a torn life,
sews the pieces together.
 
More beautifully
than if they’d never been apart.
Impossible to know this,
being in pieces.
 
Lacking instruction
and stitching practice
for new beginnings
delusions tear, inexhaustibly
 
Humbly consider:
 
In a room full of darkness
 
Practice lights the candle,
Intention threads the needle,
Courage guides the stitch,
Through the cloth that is this life.
 
And the tailor begins …… again.
