(for my husband John, who'd been at work for many hours by the time this picture was taken)
Refining, shaping,
Plank by plank,
The model shipwright at 3:00 A.M.
Knows that the time is right
For perfecting his craft.
History of a thousand years
Passes through his fingertips,
Through his blood,
And into digital images
Joining the noble history
Of those who went before,
And those yet to come.
It's a labor of love,
A passion reborn.
Refining, shaping,
Bending the wood
Till the time is right
To set sail.
