I welcome the opportunity to write a poem for Poetry Potluck #13 at Jingle Poetry. This week we are offered the subject of Dreams, Visions, and Reveries. Somehow, for me, they all melt into one....
ORIGAMI
I am paper in the dream,
white and flat,
hoping for some fancy calligraphy
to be inscribed
as I hold my breath.
I'm ready for some
ornamental letters
to dance across my face
till I am sated,
by a saintly hand
or Shakespeare.
Instead, origami folds me
into a bird.
A bright spark
points me
towards a hole in the sky,
whispers the message:
Wrap your wings
around your soul.
Ascend.
Dedicated to the memory of Sri Daya Mata/ Self-Realization Fellowship.
January 31, 1914- November 30, 2010
