the artist

when first she saw me
i was like a drifting piece of wood
carried, tossed, and turned
by a constantly flowing river
not knowing where to stop
without plans of where to go
then she took me in her hands
and i found in her a sanctuary
safe from the chilling cold
of nights spent with strangers
from meaningless travels
and an existence whose meaning's
unseen through murky waters
with gentleness she carved me
with love and care she polished me
taught me how to see
the beauty of the world
and how to listen right
to the sweet melody in the air
and even though after a while
she thought me not worthy
to be considered as a masterpiece
i know in my heart
i'm the best i could ever be
