Clay Troll

My life is a sculpture made of clay, Molded of the trials and triumphs of the day. Break of dawn, shake the shingles and free, Come dusk I'm cut into this statue and sleep. Sunlight hits and clay cracks open, Breathing the sounds and light seeps in. Sunset, dusk is here - back in the mold. No more light, frozen in time - the opposite troll.

Michael, fine write! Never read it this way. I hope to read some more of your poems. I always say, never rush the poet. He's either busy with life, or he's creating something special for our eye's. Thanks for sharring.
