Embroidery

Embroidery 


It’s okay 
To close your eyes
To fall asleep 
To breath in deep

If inferno heat
Shall sway the wind
Or kill the flame 
May it boldly show itself 

A frog upon a log
Or a lily pad
An embroidered cushioning 
A round , flat leaf

For the water lily 
Lilac
Ivory 
Lavender blooms 
Water daises 
Cupped hands 
Receiving fruit 
A mandala 
All- encompassing
Far - reaching 
And symmetrical 

An artichoke 

Floating in the lake or pond
Or rooted in the wet dirt
Recollection of thoughts 
Steps taken before
A walk along the road
