A half-woven basket
on the ground
Abandoned in the
Hot midday sun
A water-color rendering
Of silence, warmth
A moment all too fleeting
Soon to be gone
Who would have caught
the beauty of the interrupted
The timeless, the temporary
Who would have thought to capture
the beauty of the unseen,
the subtle, the ordinary
Thanks to the artist,
The poet, the bard
Who remind us all that
Life is Art
And Creation
The very act of Love
A gift to us
From Heaven above

Another little cracker. I'm going to come back and read some more later. I love your work / pleasure. Silly to call poetry work when for me it is always a pleasure to express myslef this way. Do you feel the same? Ruthy
