Our Own Origami Poem by Catrina Heart

Our Own Origami

Rating: 5.0


on life’s manuscript –
apiece on leaf, we scribbled
the treads of dusks and dawns

on pages, we stripped solitary moment
formed self, commencing our own vision
into what we sought to be on shore

we, makers of our own origami
we measure, we fold, we cut
forming birds and whales

boat representing self
as we draw our background in hues
putting outrigger from our faith

The inferance to Origami works well for your metaphor. The poem has an implied mystic because it refers to an art form that is steeped in history and culture...very nice mood and texture to this pen
