Choose your symbols thoughtfully--
the fish, the grapes,
the line that circles without ending or beginning.
Your hand may tremble; it's difficult to conceive
of the idea of forever, even on an egg.
from “How to decorate an egg Ukranian style” by Nancy Nase Thomas, in A Widening Light: Poems of the Incarnation edited by Luci Shaw, p. 94
