from the first
and the second
i am third
with sheep and clay
i work
the ones i protect
live forever
with my hands sheep. (Image by Flickr user Atli Harðarson, CC)
i copy life but
it can only be
a copy
i can not create
nor breathe life
into my images
i mold and shape
but hold not
the power
of
The Creator
i am seth
from the first
and the second
i am third

Even though it is but a copy, in creating I think we touch something like the Creator. Even in our imitation of life.
I like the repetition effect - it establishes you piece well, and true and artist can not give life to their creation - but they live beyond life, don't they?
those that i protect... i love that... i think that is as important as the act of creation..to protect what is entrusted to us
I love how you have created this.. to create is always a creation even if it just reflects the brilliant truth.
I liked that very much indeed. Excellent!
This is a powerful piece. Love it!
=)
Wonderful piece!
I enjoyed this. It tells a story in just your few words. I feel I know Seth and his people.
Well done again Gail.
I like the way the poem is shaped ...
All the best Jan
