From within,
And yet above,
And so below,

A Design masterpiece,
Not flawed,
Painted by the hands of an artist,

Ever so gracefully,
A sculpture sculpts,
The liquid ice,

In my mind,
And yet, in front of me,
And in my mind,

Physical things move,
Atoms move too,
As insubstantial as this may sound,

A Design flaw?
My brain capacity full,
My capability nil,

I harness my passion,
I utilize my will,
I create,

And I sculpt,
I decorate,
I re-create,

Initiation of my thoughts,
And coordination,
Instill, into motion,

Elaborate work of art,
This masterpiece,
Independent and still,

Still and untouched,
Unharmed and glistening,
And effortless,

As I instantaneously manifest,
My heart onto a canvas,
I paint with the brush of art,

The canvas thanks me,
It appreciates what is given,
And shows what is given.
