Clang

Keep digging, brother
There is a lot that needs to be found
All these rhymes and poems
Left buried in the ground

When the spade hits the metal
Sounds like love or a battle
Forces that meet and mesh into each other
Raise your spade, keep digging brother

Maybe one day we will find 
The holy grail that we seek
The answers of a golden mind
Inheritance of the meek

But that day is not today 
Today we dig for words
That flutter at each clang
And fly away like birds

------
Some poems you write, others you dig from the ground. Like potatoes.
