the builder
the builder
he only chose the finest materials
examined each brick meticulously
understood their faults
and how even the smallest piece could be put to good use
he always started in the same manner
from the bottom up
never built too high
and only placed one brick at a time
the collapsed piles behind him were reminders of overzealous attempts of reaching too high
when his feet were meant to be earthed
barefoot to feel the grass
sand
and even the gravel that taught him where to step
and so he began again
from rock bottom
not reaching for the stars
but the potential was still there
i have been here before
he said
and i will be here again
he said
