Attainment

John Prophet

 

Granite.

Pounded.

Chiseled.

Formed.

Daily

routine.

Pounded.

Chiseled.

Formed.

What

becomes.

Years 

in the

making.

What once

was 

no more.

Earlier versions 

ignorant.

Incomplete.

Uninformed.

Sage wisdom 

accumulates.

Accumulates 

over time.

Arduous 

journey,

rough road.

Attainment.

Not 

to be

trifled with!

    We each gain an attainment over the years to lead us to where we are today.

    truly, so many categorise of nearly - yet far, achievements
    we so brazenly disregard - to forget:
    'imagine if Leonardo's 'Gran Cavallo'
    could have been financed till completion?
    Would Mona Lisa's all-knowing smirk, have survived
    all those centuries
    without so much as a doubtful - dent...'
    lol, sorry if I ignorantly hijacked your meaning to a different continent, dear poet..
    I just found this a fun read, thanks for sharing
