Dean Reilly - Crossing the Pattern

Crossing the Pattern
Acrylic

Ref. 54306

A fallen limb interrupts the lace
 not to break it,
 but to mark a moment.
 The pattern still pulses,
 even when crossed.
 This is how growth returns,
 not neat, not expected,
 but true.
 What falls may rise,
 askew and scarred,
 yet held
 within the rhythm
 that always continues.
