(inspired from Art From Ashes "the spot" 1-24-2012)
I remember when
I fell in love
Because I asked God
For someone
With a body
And forgot
Myself…
Then wanted
To go back
When I realized
I lost myself…
Didn't know
How
How to get back
To that pure
State of
Innocent bliss
Divine naïveté
…
But like the
Blacksmith
God knew more
About me
And the experience
Of being combined
With human love
What it would
Do to me
Turning me
Over and over
The pain
The bending
The hammering
The shaping
Into something
I could have
Never thought
I could be
With purpose
With an edge
With form
And strength
Beauty
A work
Of art…
That with stands
The test
Of time.
