Trasna Tapestry


This picture is a backdrop of a crossing place.
You are standing at the foot of a mountain
with a pathway cutting through it, the swirling mist hides the view.
To your left is the spring of your birth and the
summers of youth and the paths of middle age.
On the right are the colours of the autumn of your life,
with a pathway lined with tall long lived evergreens.
The skies are the embers of dawn and sunset; night hangs ever
present above, where your star shines brightly.

I hope you enjoy your journey, whichever path you take.
-John Bailey, September 2005
