Reciprocity

By Zawadi SJPublished about 12 hours ago • 1 min read
Another piece rescued from the dumpster

Been used

A  bit bruised

No longer wanted...discarded!

Then I appear

Excitement…Everywhere!

Storming creative ways to repair

Sand it down! 

Paint it, pink, blue, orange, black or brown

Decoupage? 

Fabric or paper?

I’ll take it home for later…

Allowing it to whisper for me to hear

"Restore Me...Please My Dear"

After waiting all alone

For someone like me to appear

Against a wall 

Or thrown in the dumpster…

of the previous owner

Homeless and worn

I offer the piece a new place of abode

TLC! 

"Come with me

I’ll repair the damages

Make it stronger...it will live longer"…

A new beginning...

It brings much joy

Me…Like a child given a brand new toy

I gather my materials and tools 

Let the magic in...let's begin

Meditation in the midst of Creation

I'm in the zone...forever grateful…

As the saying goes…

One man's junk is another one’s treasure

As far as I can see…

It's nothing but pleasure!
