Man of wood

Man of wood

Now I understand the 
Mythology of the
 'Green Man'
From the dark colour's 
of the anchored root
To the light shades
Close to the green heights
A soul carved 
From the heart of the forest
The lines of age
 ingrained in the skills 
and the workings-out of 
the craft-mans hands
The pencil lines
of precise arithmetic 
bring the ashes of the tree
back to life 
Sawdust from the sharpest tools
The Remains of knowledge 
Of a beautiful craft.


Avie.
