originality seizes the world
the way the sculptor chisels
a block of wood to reveal
his vision behind it

the work becomes the proof
of his idea and it lends forever
an edge for the world to stand on
shine on like a diamond

this heart is a boundless field
for original thoughts to shower on
the eyes see, the mind perceives
and the heart, the heart, is the one
hardest to convince - it turns an avert face
once a less than perfect idea knocks
on its door

the world is cast with a heart
and it's a heart that shall determine
its fate and fortune
