RED BRICK
Molded and formed
by his mighty hand, then placed in the kiln to cure.
This red clay brick, when it was formed, was made for a wall,
I'm sure.
Then, it was used
by the mason in a most unexpected way.
Used not as a brick, but a messenger; a tablet made of red clay.
Molded and formed
by the Master, then tempered by the flame.
Then used in an unexpected way, never to be the same.
