the apprentice
i snuck into the world
through a backdoor
you carved into a rolling hill
where you worked the earth
with your creative hands
with perfection in mind
you made my eyes
the lightest shade of blue
and my skin varied
depending upon the light
your blood flowed within
nourishing my heart
and strengthening my mind
as i learned how the earth
recycles all living things
through time and patience
i came to understand
how the secrets of the clay
could beautify and nourish
a world starving for love
october two thousand twelve
