Designed By Her

The consummate relic represents
a true masterpiece whose
provenance might belong to the
atelier of a famed artist
celebrated for his divine skills
as a master carver. But this gem
was carved not from wood
as Grinling Gibbons would
have fashioned it, but rather
from wood long perished and its 
delicate presence like an ancient 
Asian carving from ivory or jadeite 
is as supremely delightful as any
carved replica of nature's beauty
layered exquisitely, like the
ravishing petals of a blooming
peony. It is, however part of
nature's classical oeuvre much
predating antiquity, a matchless
primordial treasure courtesy of Her.
