TIME WRITTEN IN SAND
At center, core place of wisdom,
Where seateth cadi and conspirator,
Life thrums cords, to flow streams
Of tiny worlds in suspension
Monuments dissipate, age upon age
In snail like pace, beneath stunning sun
And whispering moon unheard;
Simple sacrifices to unsuitable deity
Its much more complicated, dare to say
When ceremonious juggle of bone,
And grit, wager for satiety, at the cost
Of barriers and borders embroidered.

I like the idea of embroidered barriers and borders. The similar sounds in the words are fun to read aloud, and also it's interesting to try to play with the nuances the word embroidered has.

at the cost Of barriers and borders embroidered... I love that. I used to do embroidery. It was delicate, time consuming, and what looks lovely on one side is a tangle of knots. Excellent visual for me
ReplyDeleteAha! ☺ I did a lot of embroidery in my younger days. Thank you for your appreciation Susie.
