There is a mad rush
For possession of beauty
Passion flowers bloom
Intricate design in lace
Blind eyes on candle-lit face

  1. interesting turn in that last line...i like the allusion of it toward lace as well...the possession of beauty is a scary thing...

  7. Reading your last line, it seems open to interpretation.
    However after reading Susie's wonderful dissertation one can readily see that there is a terrible price, loss of sight of the maker, that those ancients faced for having their lace.
    The sorry thing is that child labor as an expendable commodity abounds still in our world today.

  8. That last line brings it all home - the cost of such items. Well done.

  9. That last line is a powerful close ~ I now feel guilty for all those who have made such fine hand made lace ~
