Treasures For Faith and Harmony

My tiny shadow lies beside me,

a small baby,

contained in a decorative lace bassinet,

so far away from familiar faces,

no places for me to see their smiles

as I am fostered miles from home

and this was then when

I lost the bonds of all I knew to be true.

 

I cling to soft ribbons and lace

I cannot swim, I never do,

I only float and hope

I will be found safe and sound.

Venus in Libra led me through

to my deep affinity with unusual containers

as safe places for treasures, feathers,

baskets holding fallen nests,

seed pods and bells,

gemstones and pebbles from wild places

in carved wooden bowls,

or in tin, or timber trunks,

storing Raku with gifts from you.

Almost all my containers

do contain more containers,

and somewhere within me

lives all faith and harmony,

knowing that what is tucked inside,

a floral or painted box

will be, found eventually.

I see these as places of safe-keeping

almost every thing will live anew with you

or 'who-ever-new, finds what is 'left behind'.
