Gifted Hands

by tempeste

Her
fine art
will warm hearts
She worked with clay,
white, red, her colour chart.
Gifted hands loved to knead and play,
many emotions her statues convey.
Her subjects are many from flamenco danseurs
to nudes, faces even a bright bouquet.
Watching her create made my day,
so abrupt her depart.
Filled my archway
with her art,
my heart
stirs.
