Her Life as Woven Lace

Julie A. Olson

It’s there woven by time on her face.

The intricate design

called life.

Each seam painstakingly stitched

as in a piece of artistic

hand-woven Spanish Lace.

The beauty in the piece she holds

has long lost precision

of edge.

Retrospection of life,

disentangled from emotion,

has worked loose

it’s intricate thread.

Recollections are all interlaced,

with those she loves

entwined.

Relationships unraveled, repaired.

Crisp edges are softened and blurred

by the Creator’s original design.

These textures of living are hers.

All the joys, laughter,

and tears.

Abrupt lines yield-

sway and twirl

The cogent angle of clarity now curves.

A life woven as intricate lace.
