Filigree of Life

The filigree of life, such an intricate design,

each moment interwoven like grossamer, so fine.

The filigree of life forever being spun,

each stage entwining finely 'longside ensuing ones.

Where the whole design begins no-one can really know,

the artistry unfolds in time as each of us does grow.

P'haps starting with a vaporous thread so delicately held,

then weaving so exquisitely each phase as though to meld.

Elaborate entanglements and often transparent detail

sometimes has us seeing life as though through diaphanous veil,

and as the pattern takes its shape the filigree may fatique

but something fine perchance was woven, like heirloom lace, unique.

The filigree of life, such a intricate design,

each moment interwoven like gossamar, so fine.

The filigree of life forever being spun,

no filament created like any other one.
