Corfu cotton, long forgotten,
you are my favourite one.
Double-stitched and reinforced,
with me when all challenges came,
as life, it seemed, departed me
again.
But there you were,
wash and wear anywhere,
dusky shades of muted blue
with smoky colours rising through.
Years and years go by,
leaving and grieving,
starting on a new pathway,
meeting love along the way,
so, as wisdom walks with me
I see beyond with clarity.
You cloak me softly
when courage
calls me through the light,
then beams of joy are rising high.
All I ever need
envelops me as a seed,
encourages me
to flower like the brightest one,
to raise my mind
with the Solar Sun,
as I see who you are
my little child upon the earth
who joins me now
in joy and mirth,
evermore to be
shining perfectly.
