The Statue

A hand of fine art
carving impressions of heart
beauty to embalm.
A creation glorified
inspiring while life denied.

The exquisite creative beauty of your poem is breathtaking, my dear Besma, and breathes life in the ignited imagination of the beholder of your precious art - as your poem did in the imagination of this ardent reader. Your verses enrapture my mind, impassion my heart and satisfy my soul with their awe-inspiring wonder. A FAV! Warmest wishes, love and hugs my lovely friend.. ~Susan
