Table Wisdom

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Small tiled table
~
Inspire Me Thursday ~ Table
~

Select a table
Tiled with abstract designs
Random textures
Earthy colours
~
A hint of midnight
Paints a balanced framework
~
Bring to the table
A skein of dried memories
Potted or
Loosely gathered
~
Let it all bask in
A little sunlight
Reflection
~
But keep your eye on
The smiling soul
The divine essence
Quietly
Softly
Scattering
The shadows
Below
~
