Precise as it will ever be,
Is life’s confusing tapestry
Veiled threats mix with harmony
As is shown countless times
Stars can sparkle brightly
Though sometimes they are not seen
When clouds come in so quickly
Like dark thoughts within our minds
Ignorant as we may seem
We try to get ourselves seen
As environmentally friendly
And being cruel to be kind
We get weighed down so heavily
Seeking lightness, drinking herb tea
Mutable like a Joshua Tree
Yet mostly failing to shine
Individual as a bumble bee
We do the same collectively
As a threatened cuttlefish out at sea
And squirt ink; or drivel; or lies
Plod on: we do regardlessly
Complaining so remarkably
Flake out when change comes urgently
Yet we continue with our lives
Precise as it will ever be,
Is life’s confusing tapestry
Filled with folk like you and me
But on the whole we’re doing fine
