Carving A Pagoda

Carving A Pagoda

by flot

Please don’t interrupt me

I’m carving a pagoda

Looking out around the corners ahead of the curves

The sounds are influencing every move I make

Carving curves and lines

I‘m trying hard to concentrate

Making myself a house of worship

Devoting myself to extinguishing the warships

I’m taking a vow propagating peace

I’m carving this pagoda for weeks

I’m carving for days and years

I’m carving all the blood and sweat

I’m carving out the tears

I would stop and rest

But

I’m not finished yet

I’m carving a pagoda in dark and light

Through thick and thin and with all my might

Sunrise midday and when the sun sets

I’m carving a pagoda

But I’m not finished yet
