Poietes

With
sculpture
as his truth-
he made marble 
live
in
life-size
human form-
delicate as
lace

Just reading the story under the sculpture from your link is like living a spiritual experience in itself. Cannot get rid of the chills. There are no words to describe the sculpture. Your poem is outstanding and as I reread it after the link it took on deepest meaning. Love, Shar
