Work of art

God's work of art ,
That's me ?
Then beauty must be in the eye of the beholder.

I feel more like
one of those statue's
Michelangelo left
Half emerging
From the block;
Full of potential ,
On the verge of life,
But prisoned still
By circumstance and fear.

Yet part of me is free -
And you are still creating ,
Bringing to life
The promise that is there.

Sometimes by
Hammer blows
Which jar my being ,
Sometimes by
Tender strokes half felt
Which waken me to life.

Go on , Lord.
Love me into wholeness.
Set me free
To share with you
In your creative joy ;
To laugh with you
At your delight
In me ,
Your work of art
