Greece - the sonnet

To choose anywhere in the world to carve
I’d choose Greece for its stone and history .
Our for profit world marked that land to starve
so I got “ stagnation “ for my query .

She who-would-be-Queen knew ; i did not hear .
Where else in our orbit to carve in Peace . ?
Knew I my muse , I’d go there to be near , 
and as with all things of worth , not use keys . 

A quarry is in my future , old love 
returned that truth when asked “ where do i go . ? “
I must listen for guidance from above
but know from my gut which line to toe .

The hardest part is done ; inside my heart
the reason i am here is to make art .
