This Still Life

THIS STILL LIFE

In this painting, the awakening comes with an opening door.

As the light gleams on the glass,

illuminating the blackboard inscribed with choices;

food for both body and the soul;

the old woman sits, framed in the silver moonlight,

and fills the basket, woven, at her feet.

Threads of possibility, patiently crafted.

Threads of Life.
