This gift was forged
In the inimitable act of life
Nothing but life’s intense volition
could bend its forces to such structure,
craft this compact, spiraling container
to fit so neatly in the currents that surround it
Only the imperative of life
could call this genius forth
impel the mastery of this design;
Though it is tossed here empty
we see it still
calling us to wonder:
Long after life has left it
the impress of life’s essence stays.
