To Origami

What gentle art to confine
By plane of paper - folded line.
What magic here to capture me,
In infinite variety.

Shape on shape and fold on fold
Creates a world from simple mould.
In what emerges my eye can see
Bird or Beast or Geometry.

The art's not in the form thats won
alone, but also in the journey done.
Through plane of paper and folded line
A glimpse of eternity is mine.

What gentle art to confine
By plane of paper - folded line.
What magic here to capture me,
In infinite variety.
