God’s plan, evolving in me
each strand joined
each square hand-stitched
making a tapestry,
a salad, a quilt, a melting,
a coming together
in the hands of our Creator
our Savior, the Potter
the wings of the Spirit
living in me, burning
Hope in the turning
the grafting of my twig
joined in the vine
leading me to sing
to want to live, to serve
to join with the others
the fabric God is stitching
now, here on earth

that the world creates.”
