Weaving Dreams

For no found reason, I begin to weave
removing the layers of ifs and buts,
mulling over the maybes, possibilities,
gliding through darkness to find dawn.

For no found reason, I begin to weave
in the rain, happy rainbows.
Stars sparkling like my koka,
treading on thorns to enchanted places.

For no found reason, I begin to weave;
reaching out, boundless, limitless
like the seconds on a clock.
My bindi smiles as I fly on magic rugs.

For no found reason – I have woven,
dropped stitches, stained with loss,
held together with fine golden thread.
Done! My dreams have been woven.

Punjabi words: Koka – nose jewel, Bindi – forehead jewel
