A poem in seven verses

The arm that swings the hammer The hand that holds the chisel The marble that is carved The stone that is shaped

Not here for war Reconciliation Not here for destruction Creation

The arm that swings the hammer Holds the baby near Safe from harm

The hand that holds the chisel Writes letters of beauty Words of love

The stone that is shaped Unbroken Graceful

The marble that is carved Unformed Transformed

Not here for war Reconciliation Not here for destruction Creation

Definitely out of my comfort zone with poetry, but I thought that I’d give it a try.

Paul Mansfield is a writer, a photographer, a guitar player, a philosopher — some he does well, some not so well, but he still tries them all.
