Attainment

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Apr 21, 2021 

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!
