the girl in the bead shop ...



the girl in the bead shop...



the girl in the bead shop
follows me through
each room of the ancient house
where no one lives now
the rooms abandoned
and replaced by
displays of beaded art
jewellery so brilliant
it should astound my eyes
but i am fascinated more
by the fixed stare
of her innocent eyes
watching me so carefully
as if at any moment
i would perform
some miracle
or at the very least
some magic trick
exploding with a flourish
from my
white fingertips

    Africa beats with a soul that will change the heart forever.
    Excuse my intrusion ... but this post .. your words ... have captured the essence of that picture perfectly.
