Sculpting a New Life

a simple lump of clay

can be changed into new form

it is the hands of the sculptor

who moulds the shape that’s to be born

it is not the brain of the artist

that directs what is to be

it is a sensory attunement

that gifts the vision that we see

first seen as an image

then a feeling into form

the beauty of remodelling

gifts new life to what is born
