God's Apprentice

Poem

The bench-lit yellow morning 
With its dew dripping softness 
Hanging yellow walls; 
Your parabolic eager banging 
Coining the given mettle: 
Hammering out the pure 
Purposive craft: 
While the membered machines 
And the tools lay waiting 
For the zealous simple rhythm 
Of your glad and boyish heart.
