I Cut a Hole
I cut a hole
Through the fabric of time
And I climb through
Knowing I will see you again
Unchanged and unchanging
Held as a perfect memory
Without the messiness of the past
You radiate joy and peace
And pull me in from my
Cynical introspection
This is a world where
Words are not needed
Everything is said with a smile
A glance, a tip of the head
I know forgiveness flows freely
Even though it was never needed
I was always accepted
And always will be

Thoughts
I love Grayson Perry and have had the privilege to see a number of his excellent textile pieces. He is able to tell a story in such detail through the weaving of threads. This is from The life of Julie Cope and I saw it in Edinburgh.
