Craft

She weaves together these strands of paddy

She weaves together these blades of grass

She weaves her hopes and dreams together

As today seamlessly into tomorrow does pass

Oblivious to all she just weaves on

With concentrated precision and dedication

With single-minded focus she makes each move

Creating her art with love and conviction

It looks like she does not need to rest

It looks like this itself is her rest

She appears to gain and spend energy

As she gives her work her very best

This is her art and her identity

It is her work and her play

She is steeped in it, immersed it in

As she gives to it, her all today

This is craft, this giving of all

This is craft, this act of creation

This is craft, using material as medium

To the sense the souls urge and give it vision.
