Firewood - Who looses more and more of his own destructive ego may gain in value after all

Firewood

(..06050631-0639,2209120806-0815)

I am a large piece

of firewood.

My owner

was just about ready

to cut me to pieces

so that I would fit

in his fireplace.

Then a hiker came by

and realized immediately

that I had the ideal qualities

to be able to

carve something nice out of me.

After a bit of convincing

I changed hands.

Through that I did not end up

in the fireplace

but in the workshop.

Piece by piece

was taken from me.

I got smaller and smaller.

However I did not

lose any value –

the opposite was true.

When I was done,

I was a statue

of the wood maker.
