my most prized possession
just a piece of wood
found on a hike in the woods
rescued from becoming trash
my found object
created mainly by nature
gives voice to my most prized possession
an unexpected gift
a reflection of my life
my treasure
swirling patterns go round and round
create an organic shape
a lustrous reddish brown color
nature’s texture is perfect
not necessary to give physical form
to an original idea
as nature and art meld
my treasure appears
a fully formed creative expression
like a reverie
ignites a sparkling feeling
food for my soul
a way to connect
to my art work
to sentient trees
share with the outer world
gives me freedom
to navigate life
