SHAPING CREATION

Shaping Creation

Shaping Creation

Knitting in the round,

intricate shapes

embellish

nature’s doilies.

 

Nurturing hands,

aged

like air-washed glass

fondle

timeless determination.

 

Stitching day to night,

darkened figures

nod seamlessly

shivering

interchangeable designs.

 

Spirited exhaustion

springs awake-

a new day’s

colour.

OUTCAST WITHIN

Outcast Within

Bleeding away forced confessions

And unheard truths

With strabismus eyes

I see Clarity

Dressed in slits from

Morning’s curtain

 

Devoured by the bitter groans

Of darkness fed despair

I watch the serfs

Tortuous and mind washed

Stone the window

 

Branding Tears upon my heart

Secreted away

A moat of hope

Remains
