*"Goldsmithing and Welding!"*
***
To understand it, is to respect it;
to respect it, is to love it;
to love it, is to live in it.
***
It's harsh and destructive,
fierce and ruthless like the open sea.
***
Yet, it is at peace within itself,
moving and dancing
with a rhythm of a young maiden,
only in silence.
***
The only friend is the wind
to which it will react passionately
and joyfully, and free without fear.
***
It lives on life, yet it is life itself.
It's the beginning of our universe
and will live till the end.
***
It only answers to God
and is there at his command.
***
It's feared by all of us,
yet I try to understand its ways and powers.
***
I have lived and worked with it,
 yet we did not touch.
***
It's reality, time and adventure
to live, love and respect...
the FIRE.

This Smithy looks a little rough around the edges,
"But I like his attitude!"
*He probably has a Heart of Gold too! ;-)
