Turning the Page

We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

 

We are woven into the tapestry of this labyrinth of chaos 

Our threads twisted and knotted 

With or without our permission 

 

These looms are operated by hidden weavers

Henchmen that pay homage to the puppet master behind the curtain

Making converts as the threads are pulled tight

 

Some go willingly, bowing to kiss the ring 

Of false prophets and court jesters 

Others stand their ground and rebel in their own way 

 

In dark times we make due with a flickering candle 

Often, hope presents itself in small shafts of light

It's up to the objectors to fan the flames of hope

A remarkable Summary of our current time, Mary!
A woven tapestry, a flickering candle, great images/metaphors.
