The way of craft
Comes with a surge
In simple draft
That funds sure urge.
The path of deed
Becomes more clear
When mind finds need
In work that cheers.
The truth shows how
Will and firm poise
Can show you now
To work fond choice.
The style you form
To weave the thought
And forge new norm
Impacts plain plot.
The charm of play
Can spring a truth
That sparks fond say
In cheery proof.
The hands find will
To work with things
That forge and fill
Joy that now springs.
The hands of man
Can make or break
The bonds that tend
In what we stake.
The soul knows well
The lessons here
That come to dwell
To live right here.
The problem first
Comes to appeal
To learning thirst
That will then heal.
The answer sought
In each new wave
Cannot be bought
Yet work can save.
The light shines here
If we but see
The night that clears
To show beauty.
The smiles that curl
Upon your face
Will thus unfurl
Wise time and space.
The faith and hope
That love now brings
Can sculpt new scope
In endless springs.
The wise know then
That life goes on
Both now and when
Love seeds beyond.
The fool just knows
A blindness full
As whispers show
An empty pool.
The plain know reach
In simple quest
For life does teach
In mundane jest.
The road we take
Serves each most well
For what we make
Now surely tells.
The goods of earth
Can be a load
That burdens birth
Here on the road.
The signs foretell
The story plot
For thoughts we dwell
Unleash sure lot.
The zest that fills
Each heart and soul
Is cause that heals
And makes us whole.
The frame of mind
That heart knows best
Can fill in kind
The easy fest.
The touch of will
Springs forth fond wit
That jest can fill
In all that fits.
The life we live
Comes by design;
For all we give
Comes back as finds.
