The First Sculptor

I touch gently the limestone
and I gently rub the marble with sandstone
as I move the stone I am moved
and a figure I find beneath my fingers.

She stands upright
in the eerie light
and free she stands with this love I gave
and she speaks to me
every time I worship.

Could I create such a beauty
with my dirty fingers
wet from the first drawn clay?
