Molded

John Prophet

 

 

Molded.

Form.

End result.

Unstructured 

clay.

Soft.

Malleable.

Formless.

Years.

Years

in the

making.

Manipulated.

Pounded.

Stretched.

Twisted.

Rolled

over and

over. 

Hardening 

over

time.

Each

unique.

Chiseled.

Cut.

Shaved

away.

Environmentally 

fashioned.

From

origin,

unrecognizable.

Amplified.

Survival.

End result

dependent.

Lessons

learned,

final

outcome.

        We all get moulded in our lives John to become the person we are at the moment.

          Events shape us and age hardens us that clay from which we were formed and that dust to which we will return. Loved the concept and wording of the poem. Very nice

        • Tony Grannell

          The making of a form from the malleable youth to the chiseled elder and how one survives through the lessons carved into each passing calendar. An excellent poem indeed, one to stay with you. Thank you very much.

          Kind regards,
          Tony.
