Analysis of Work in Progress



everyone’s an artist
immersed in one’s own masterpiece
growing day by day
getting dimensions
new hues and
layers

these carved

that patched with tears
provide essential dept

left the old shapes
further
searching learning
meanwhile closer
poetically defining
the unique inherent me

in progress
till the final plea
