all love beauty
but so few make 
anymore: wood 
found stripped 
shaped into our 
Christ's burden: in his place lost trinkets 
Found beauty: is that which is lost then 
Found: such warmth: in snatches worn to 
be discarded 
placed in forms 
we can still recall 
this youth in beauty 
reinvented by hands 
known to some as man 
woman, friend, husband 
wife, parent, loves of a 
little girl long gone
