Visions of Truth

though seasons come and go 
like defrosted ice and snow 

i stay blinded by the sun 
because my head is never hung

no wasted water no salted tears 
not a wasted heart nor wasted years 

the sculpture is already there all we have 
to do is chip away at the unwanted pieces 

and with every chip of a broken mold 
a vision of the truth increases

Not only a sculptor of ice but you do it with words too. The carving is a beauty to behold my friend. Hugs to you.
