Woman walking
Woman running
Woman weaving with fine silk thread.
Woman watching
Woman knowing
Woman weaving a silver web.

I am the weaver
I am the woven one
I am believer
I am the web.

Woman dancing
Woman singing
Woman weaving life’s wondrous web.
Woman weeping
Woman crying
Woman weaving to raise the dead.

She is the weaver
She is the woven one
She is believer
She is the web.

Woman baking
Woman sewing
Woman weaving a complex web
Woman writing
Woman knowing
Woman baking a loaf of bread.

She is the baker
She bakes the bread of life
She is believer
She is the bread.

Woman dreaming
Woman planning
Woman weaving a fabric fine.
Woman caring
Woman sharing
Woman weaving the grand design.

She is the dreamer
She is the dreaming one
She is believer
She is the dream.

Woman working
Woman drumming
Woman weaving a life for all
Woman playing
Woman praying
Woman weaving a mythic shawl.

I am the weaver
I am the woven one
I am believer
I am the web.

We are the dreamer
We are the dreaming ones
We are believers
We are the dead.

I am the weaver
I am the woven one
I am believer
I am the web.
