Poetry Challenge Day 171 (Thu Mar 24)
What is my why?
What do I look like
inside this block of stone
not yet carved away?
I don’t know.
I suspect on some level
it is to have fun
after a lifetime of serious work.
That does not completely
explain my why
or its relation to
the things that I do.
Part of the answer
is love and sharing.
Sharing love of life and allowing
love to be shared with me.
But that doesn’t
answer the question
what the stone will look like
when it is finished.
If you know the answer
to that question
before the work is finished,
you are a smart one indeed.
My answer most likely is,
I have the chisel
in my hand and I am
applying it diligently to the work.
