Daily Grind

Mindless, numbing,

Growing frail.

Toiling, searching,

Holy grail.

 

Ceaseless-hours,

Small demands.

Pointless-pouring,

Greedy hands.

​

Thankless-giving,

Weak resolve.

Problem-solving,

Nothing solved.

​

Endless training,

Creeping time.

Resolution...

Daily grind.

​

Daily weaving,

Carving stone.

Chipping marble,

Earthly home.

​

Holy hammer,

Saintly call.

Building bridges,

Tearing wall.

​

Strengthened body,

Clearing mind.

Promise—grounded,

Call—Divine.

​

One day, seeing—

Woven life.

Daughter, mother,

Woman, wife.

​

Faithful-steward,

Steadfast-friend.

Joyful-leaving,

Finished,

End.
