THE HIGH HEELED SHOE
I found a tiny high heeled shoe of blue,
one inch across, so delicate, so thin,
of plastic with a semblance of a pin.
I thought of me at three or four,
finding such at thing, what joy, what ecstasy,
to own an object of little worth,
and yet for me a find so great
it filled my thoughts and pleased my eye,
the rubbish of the street.
I used to carry the tinniest piece of paper
pink, blue-pink, all day with me,
when such colours didn't exist much on things,
the dyes of fabrics too were less exciting then,
so that contrasts from such wrappings such as sweets,
enthused my mind,
as colour is a guiding force in what I love to do,
when painting water colours in all their lovely hues,
and mixing many variations, love to play with them;
not always things of value are chosen to be loved,
its us who give them worth,
we have this trait from birth.
