This Tapestry

(Inspired by a quote circulating in unsocial media, shared recently by a friend. 🙏 

Nothing is coincidence. Every soul you meet is written in your destiny to teach you, to heal you, or to love you. Nothing and no one arrives by accident. Even the heartbreaks come with hidden lessons wrapped in pain. Some souls are just passing through, meant only to spark the next version of you. Others stay, gently unfolding parts of you that you didn't know existed. In the grand tapestry of life, every thread every soul is part of your becoming.)

With colorful yarns, both fine & coarse,

Knit long ago, theirs and yours.

The knots, frays, kinks, for all to see,

Unique, each one, our great Tapestry.

No meeting accidental in this fateful dance,

Tears, heartaches, breakups, romance.

Every soul ever who crossed our path, 

Cosmic design with esoteric math.

Nothing occurs, no happenstance,

No thoughts collide, no random chance,

Every single interaction, gentle or wild,

Etched in stars before we ever smiled.

Some souls arrive as mirrors, foggy, unclear,

Reflect our own selves that we might fear.

Remind us who we’ve been, who we are,

Soothing, burning fresh wounds, old scars.

Sunrises, sunsets, fleeting, brief,

Lengthy shadows, ease our grief.

Brush against us long enough to show

Our inner selves re-lit, again aglow.

No heart is broken without a cause,

No tears shed outside these laws.

Each sleepless night we endure,

Wisdom unwrapped, obvious or obscure.

In life’s great loom, colors & colorless,

Every thread is placed with warm caress.

Never tattered, unraveled, or undone,

Path pre-destined, intertwined, before it had begun.
