Sculptor

 Sculptor 


In a studio where whispers of wood abound,

A sculptor's hands in diligent work are found.

With chisel's kiss and imagination's delight,

He conjures shapes that soar in dreamy flight.


From rugged bark to forms of grace and shine,

Narratives sculpted, tales divine.

Each carving holds a glimpse of life's own breath,

A metamorphosis in art, defying death.


His shapes emerge from his silent plea,

Molding futures only he could see.

A metaphor alive in each chisel and hue,

Reshaping wood to futures anew 


Of timber's essence, tales yet to unfold,

Crafting dreams from the wood's stronghold.

His spirit pours into the work he makes

Imbuing his sculptures with his heart constant ache 


His hands trace grains gentle flow 

Imagination leads where eyes cannot go 

Each carve, each curve, an imaginary trace 

Crafting beauty, a destined grace.


In the surprise of this sculptor's lore,

A revelation unseen, unknown before 

His eyes, veiled in profound night,

Yet his artistry, the most vibrant light.


For in his world, void of sight's guide,

Imagination thrives, beauty's tide.

No sight to mimic, no shapes to glean,

Only heartfelt visions his hands convene.


His sculptures breathe life, beyond what eyes can see

Born from dreams unfettered, wild and free.

Crafting tales of surprise, his masterful guise,

Shaping not just wood, but souls and skies.
