Unpredictable

[milo]

Your first analogy compares self to itself . . .it is called the fallacy of identity

Unpredictable

Like hand-dyed threads drawn tight across a loom
a parent winds the sturdy warp stretched wide
but taut, a shed built strong but leaving room

for life to wield the shuttle children ride.
The final vision cannot be discerned
as colors side by side are amplified

as weft threads slide then deftly are returned;
an artisan allows the work to speak
a language of its own that's only learned

by following the steady fall and peak.
The siblings give no thought to what's unseen,
all consequences cloaked in life's mystique.

They'll hold each other close as they careen
through life, no distance in the years between.

Any and all crit welcome.

And thinking through it, it might be interesting if it were even more self-aware of itself - like mocking those who trust metaphor to describe their worlds "I am as much myself as any has ever been and bear the likeness - a striking resemblance to what I truly am" or whatever.
