Can be a lot of things
Made from fibre with hands
Reveal outer and hidden language
Worn for all to see.

They can make a stance
Often seen from a distance
Frequently expressing nonsense
Like the Emperor's new clothes.

Alternatively reveal grace and beauty
Colours, artistic patterns delighting all
Flowing mulberry silk garments
Or rare luxurious royal velvet.

Personality roles can flitter and flutter
Individual gems, gifts not so much
Unreleased trauma stuck under ground
Releasing or restricting abundance.

Change our constant companion
Throw out the old, ring in the new
Seasons change as does outer wear
Removing them as the sun turns.

Clothes for protection, expression & fashion
Always a reflection of  personality
Born without and die without
Revealing vulnerability and freedom.
