Tribute to the Artisan

the Artisan—
she who transforms raw matter into splendour,
labouring in quiet devotion
to breathe life into the intangible.
She is a sculptor,
a storyteller,
a keeper of ancient wisdom.
Her tools sing songs of precision;
her hands bear the memory of generations.
Her craft is boundless,
circumscribed only by the limits of imagination
—thus, she is eternal.
One day,
she moulds gold into timeless elegance;
the next,
she weaves
leather into a symphony of texture and form.
Her humble lot,
her sacrifice,
her triumph,
is to etch beauty into the world,
immortalising stories not with words,
but with her soul.
