Origami Spirit

Origami spirit - fragile layers under paper thin skin fares cuts. The heart's depths protected on smooth edges. Hands with scissors claim destruction. Yet mine enemies fall from true beauty held in creation, perfection of folds, the triumph of form. Origami - shielded by hands, the maker of all that's sacred. I am one - life, spirit, crane soaring ancient folds of breath. By Rhonda Johnson-Saunders, June 10, 2012 For True Diminishing Hexaverse contest (David Williams)

touching look at origami. Some say each work holds a piece of it's maker's soul. Origami certainly is very tactile, as is your poem.
