In the center of the room lies a heart, A heart unlike any other, crafted by Melanie, Made of wax, twisted roots, and horsehair strands, It evokes a sense of the beauty and fragility of life's strands.

The heart, with its delicate form and intricate design, Speaks of the artist's deep reflections on mortality and time, Each element carefully chosen and woven into place, As if to capture the essence of life's fragile grace.

The wax, once melted and molded, now hardened and still, Symbolizes the fleetingness of life, as if time can't be still, The roots, intertwined and twisted, represent life's twists and turns, A reminder that life is never a straight path but a lesson that one learns.

And the horsehair strands, each carefully selected and placed, Depict the transience of life, as everything must come to an end in this space, Together, these elements create a piece of art so profound, That leaves us pondering the fragility of life, the beauty that surrounds.

As we stand before this heart, crafted with love and care, We can't help but feel the weight of life's fragility and dare, To cherish every moment, to live each day to the fullest, For life is but a fleeting moment, a heart that beats its last, soon to be still and rest.
