Masonic Poetry - Br. Uwe Riches

I THE ASHLAR

I THE ASHLAR, tall I stand,
Clothed for work, white gloves and apron on,
My working tools in my hands.

Though tall I stand,
Perfection seems elusive, in a strange and distant land,
But I trust that the working tools I bear,
Will pave the way for my journey there.

Perfection is the LIGHT I seek,
With the working tools as my feet,
Whilst I THE ASHLAR am the road,
To the perfection that I seek,
This within me dwells.

I labour hard for days on end,
Working upon myself,
Smoothing rough edges and removing the chinks
That I discover within me day after day.

I THE ASHLAR, perfection I seek,
That can only be formed in my innermost self.
