beautiful things are outside your door
he ran his hand across the ancient wood
closed his eyes and opened his mind and heart
"What lays within?" he thought
feelings of deep strength and beauty, kindness, surrounded his air
as he chiseled to create the precious first carved line
a new life of expression was born
"yes" he thought, "I shall create now, what is within"
feeling the gracefully carved lines, after every one is delicately carved
all with meaning, a thread of love,passion, happiness
"with passion and aroha I shall pour" he thought
when he finished his master piece of pure beauty
he smiled and tenderly sat back to admire
"oh yes! one can still love and express, when my love is so afar"
He thought
He closed his eyes
smiled
and
thought
"For you my beautiful friend"

About this poem:
My inspiration came from my uncle who is a beautiful carver in NZ.
Seeing his carvings, I was inspired to write this poem for a friend, I have met from far away.
