Sewing

 Pushing through the fabric
gentle, soft, sliding
the thread pulls taut
and then the needle descends again

Slowly it takes shape
shifting, stitching, slow
becomes what it was meant to
and the needle ties a knot

The machine whirs
up down up down
the needle flying, bobbin spinning
changing the shape of the cloth

This is a way to create
forming, shaping, sweetly
making something new
from what wasn't there before

This is peaceful
quiet, patient, work
to shape the fabric
into something useful
