Repost- The Living Tapestry

Swirls of color

Spinning

Majestic

Painting a mural of life in the sky

Precision

The perfect arch

And catch

To amaze and fool the eye

The mirage

Of danger

As the sun gleams

Causing a rainbow so bright

All woven

With sound

In a beautiful

Tapestry of delight

Color and spins

Evincing a talent

For tales

Without words

As the bands

Melody brings

Emotions

Controlled

And in tight

The final release

As the rifle

Soars

To all new heights

Giving us time

For bated breath

And a capture

Oh so precise.....

When I posted this previously, I did so without the pictures. The pictures were mostly taken by Melissa Weldon, my daughter who inspired this write. The two of my daughter were actually taken by her coach Susan.

The pictures add so much to the poetry that it's like a story come to life.
I'm very impressed with this.
I've decided to also feature this post along with Atlantis, this week in my group.
Congrats.
Thanks for posting to my group, Anythingwriting
