Magnum Opus

Camelias floating In Waterford crystal I look out your window The writing spider sits Thinking of her children And what she would leave them One final word written in silk Magnum Opus I'll fold up your tablecloth Embroidered in paper whites The clock strikes in bird chimes The hummingbird sips Time overlaps like Waves in Daytona Your under the umbrella The kitchen sink drips Magnum Opus Did you think about What you would leave me Or did you know That all I needed was your time I sifted the flour Shook seeds from the poppies Collecting the moments In every jar I could find Magnum Opus Magnum Opus I weave a thread through it all One silver strand from the lining of a storm cloud I weave a thread through it all One silver strand from the lining of a storm cloud Around my children's eyes Following the trail back up to the stars
