Sometimes, beauty is just overwhelming.

It shakes me to my soul 

An older woman with glasses and earrings working on a sculpture in a studio, surrounded by clay tools and sculptures.

It cracks open the ordinary
and I dance in it’s flow,
manipulating the clay or
whatever the medium is
to keep hearing the symphony,
eeking out each phrase,
the voice of each instrument.

Excruciatingly beautiful sensations
take me to another plane.
I am so thankful to hear this almost
audible creative voice.
