Tapestry ( all rights reserved )

Michael Gilheany 1967 (Long Island, NY)

Narrative
We live in such a narrow spectrum
Which we think is grand.
Really just the creation of the hubris of man.
Wisdom grants us grace through which we can see
The folly of the slender threads of this tapestry.
With this revelation begins our final days.
In the horror and the ecstasy,
It all just melts away.
