Work of Art

I have seen many works

Considered and investigated

Intricate details of each

Each work of Art sublime

Beautiful on its own;

But this new work of Art

Unique beyond all,

an innate beauty beyond measurement

My hands and eyes caress

It’s soft marble surface

touching each line, each crevice.

A work of Art

To be studied, explored, touched

A work of Art

To be gazed upon, marveled at

A work of Art

to be loved.
