I am fascinated by the music box mechanism
behind the graceful spinning ballerina
is the precision joining forces of fragments
set of pins on a revolving cylinder
plucking the steel comb lamellae
I imagine
the care and maintenance of such
an original piece
requires the patience and skills of
an artisan watchmaker
I am in awe of
the complex and detailed effort
to make real of
a simple gasp of amazement
I come to the realisation
whenever a praise of beauty is heard
a life long devotion is behind it all
I loved the way you appreciated the grace of an old music box device. Antique things do have their own charm, don’t they? Thanks for sharing such a wonderful post! According to your convenience please do read some of my writings would love to know what you think about them. 😊🙏

this is crafted with the same skill as the music box itself.
