Designs of their #culture #Pysanky #Vyshyvanka #VyshyvankaDay

Designs of their culture,
their identity as a people,
the things that sing aloud,
this is who they are, this is Ukraine…
 
Yellow flowers in the fields,
an azure blue sky overhead,
the love of their country,
written in intricate lines…
 
They wear their embroided Vyshyvanka,
they share Pysanky eggs for Easter,
on either side of the Dnipro,
on the mainland, in Crimean,
together, they stand as one…
