Origami

origami

stillness pervaded
the ancient paper home
not even the rill that
dutifully crossed the small
garden dared to break the 
meditative silence.
a controlled swish 
of heavy white paper
whispered through the 
open doors and rested 
on the water lilies
folded like his paper creatures
the aged man sat unmoving
except for his waltzing fingers.

I like this very much! Nicely done Patricia. I also learned a new word from this (Rill).
