Learning From Smiths

flowing molten core

the lava of life

stirs

and the magma falls

down shaft hewn from the stone

into multiple vats

of triple iron layered cauldrons

the molds as well

were made resilient

enough for the mountain fire

which burned as the sun's heart

the aged smiths of all known yore

skillfully filled each one

numerous times

the younger ones assisted

for one day

they too would be old

it could be a process

both this physical and

this emotional cooling

yet nothing earned

nothing learned

and the most integral part

was the unity in knowing

hardy Smithmetal built everyone's homes
