lost/found

discarded

useful once

now considered useless

yet someone picks it up

finds beauty

in decay

honours it

and others

with stitch

emotion

art

gives it relevance

and meaning

useless once

now considered useful

once lost

now found

rusted silk, woven mesh, wadding and old sheet music; found metal objects; perle cotton; crochet; stitch

 [inspired by the line 'I once was lost, but now am found', from Amazing Grace by John Newton]
