A self taught engineer bringing forth magic with his bare hands.
A young child I was, watched and revered the art of the thinking man.
The sky was close as I watched the old man;
Twisting and turning the cables of what once was a breathing machine.
Bringing life back to a forgotten scrap of steel;
It was evident that heaven was now and here
The scent of a copper rose and a rusty leaf,
Takes me back to a place I call home.
Surrounded by heaps of damaged engines,
But it brought no grief;
For damaged goods bring out the alchemy of the evolved man.
The sight of an accomplished being,
That spoke a few words,
But his existence vibrant as the stars.
Propelled me towards a universe of “I don’t know”,
With the fearless keen eyes of a newborn child.
