It's surface scratched , percieved as flawed
the piece is set aside .
The hand which shaped it's contours has begun to work a-new.
It sets apart now seen as if across a great divide
there can be no connection to the things which we value .

Though cut of same material it has been deemed un-fit ,
to feature front row center in a shiney perfect world .
Discarded to one side , alone , un-noticed , none see it,
or how with age the luster of it's makers' hand un-furls .

Beneath the dust which hides from view a one-time
work of art ,
that none may ever duplicate , a piece that's so unique .
The miracle which makes each one quite different from the start ,
has now re-valued yet another work as an antique .

The sad part is too often on this planet we call Earth ,
we're too concerned with flaws to see an objects' real worth .

So true! So much in both objects and human essence are cast aside. We don't look beyond the surface. I enjoyed your verse!
Sincerely,
