Stone Edifice

Stone Edifice

A display of masterful
sculpting—

The precision in the edge
of the blade—

The chisel
positioned with a reluctant swipe.

A chip, one at a time,
falls…

what revealed?

The elegance of ‘nothingness’…
nudity—its strength,
its vibrancy, its search—

No shame.

There is no need to hide
any bit of the stone’s
essence.

The stone edifice…David
Michelangelo’s work
magnificently stands.

Even if this stone masterpiece
were ever to crumble,

I believe the voice
in each stone ‘piece’
would sing the creator’s
chiseled song.
Truly, the voice of
God be heard.
