a vest i crochet
in dark blue
stitch by stitch
unravel two
easy pattern
hard to learn
hook away
my fingers burn
design without
second thought
omitted details
cause distraught
push the hook
into split thread
crochet is relaxing

crochet is relaxing
they said
silence wrapped around
encapsulating thoughts
providing space and time
to respond to observe
no need to react now
the right time appears
after an interval
allowing a fresh approach
more space on the mind
quietened internal chatter
peace spreads its wings
relaxing ambience prevails
enchanting and might
silent breath meditation
minutes merge into hours
time vanishes in a vacuum
beatific calm
tip of the tongue
sweet taste sensor
soft and naughty
giving pleasure
with a flaw
new and enlarged
body
on the menu
delicatessen
on the mind
sense of guilt
reflecting
always
too late
the moment
of delight
followed by
remorse
the stream of life on a highway of time
an unstoppable force always in flux
dire times challenge ingrained beliefs
for a distant carrot on a stick
wishing away the current struggle
unrelenting pursuit of happiness
meanwhile the fleeting moment dissipates
into the vastness of past memories
soon forgotten not forgiven
the regret always a close friend
sharing space with guilt and self pity
the trio asking for validation
graceful acceptance of self
on a threshold of a new era
feelings acknowledged
the pressure released
new life embraced
in the now
