Blessed Beads

"Flower Girl" by Neha

She is recycling old paper

rolling it on a fine needle

turning old news into beauty

She is recycling paper beads and her life

You can still read the old lines -

that is, if you look close enough,

underneath the waterproof varnish and patterns

She is recycling her life, like paper beads

There is boundless beauty in each layer

A sum total more stunning than its parts

She calls them the blessed beads

Just like her life

blessings of many lives within this one

blessings of dreamy dreams within this one

blessings of many lines of living love

blessings of constantly changing change

These blessed beads

Just like her life

-Neha
