The Wood Carver

There lies before me, a piece of a tree
And as I sit in quiet contemplation
I wonder what you would like to be

And as I wait for the wood to speak
Not looking for a revelation
Hoping only for imaginations peek

And as I hold my simple chisel
Not quite ready for that touch
My imagination, about to sizzle

As I begin to see what lies within
Ready to be released
The time has almost come to begin

And so I place my tool upon the wood
And make a sharp caress
This is the part that feels most good

And after many sharp caresses to this tree
I get the revelation
And I see, just what it wanted to be
