The great sculptor

Never forget that nature
           is the great sculptor
we are surrounded on all sides
           by beautiful shapes
most so common
           that we take them for granted

Yesterday I walked across
           a gently undulated park
tramped through a field of daisies
           and admired the breathtaking
splendour of so many trees
           the shape of which
was known from the seed :
           love too known
from the moment
           it seeds in our hearts
