What is this magic you do? <br />Taming the fire <br />Bending the earth <br />Making beauty from brute strength <br />Giving death a sharp edge <br />Creating in your mind and fire <br />Tools and everydays that <br />Humblefolk might live in peace <br />Making death and making life <br />With the same hammerblows <br />Are you a god or a man <br />Or the spirit of earth and fire <br />That men fear and love you, Smith <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Martin Swords March 2009<br /><br />Martin Swords<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-smith/
