He started with a block of stone, cold and full of promise Chisel in hand, he carved away the flaws he saw in others Each strike took a piece of him β his laugh, his fire, his gaze He gave the marble his sharp jaw, his steady hands, his grace Days blurred into years, the figure rose tall and fine Eyes that held the light he lost, lips curved in a smile divine Passers stopped to stare, whispered of genius, of timeless art While he grew thinner, quieter, features blurring at the start Chiseled away, piece by piece Left the beauty, took the beast Now the statue stands forever grand While the man who made it fades from hand No name, no face, no spark remains Just marble glory in the pouring rain Chiseled awayβ¦ chiseled away One afternoon the sun beat down, he leaned against the stone Breath shallow, eyes empty, body turned to bone Slipped away unnoticed, curled at the pedestal's base His creation towering above, untouched by his disgrace Morning came with carts and voices, βMove this mess alongβ One more vagrant in the square, where the masterpiece belongs They lifted him like refuse, no ceremony, no name While tourists snapped the statue, praising the artistβs flame He who gave it everything lies forgotten in the ground The perfect form endures β the maker never found Chiseled awayβ¦ forever chiseled away
