The Artisan

JEMIA DE BLONDEVILLE

The fine end

Of a needle

That pierces through

The soft fabric

As it pulls

the cotton through

Marrying materials

Often of a different hue

Each stitch

Gently woven

The silent seams, seem soft

And delicate

Upon the shimmering silk

As patterns flow

Become complete

As the beautiful artistry

Of the artisan

Is never deplete

Like a trickling stream

Which glides

Along the pebbles

Rippling dappling beauty

As a gentle kiss

Upon marshmallow clouds

As a gentle breeze

Soft, and smooth, and delicate

Like melted cheese

Smooth as silk

And as fine

As the woven intricacies

Of freshly woven webs

Dew-bound

The tapestry

Is now complete

As the seamstress

Lays down her needle

Applying

A softening balm

To the blistered fingers

Of an artisan
