The Locksmith

A locksmith I saw today
Content in his trade
A young man
With an old soul

A locksmith I saw today
At the 4th Block junction
A teenage boy
Setting up shop
With love and care

Slow and still
Deep in his own world
Amidst the rising morning traffic

Unaware to the world
Fully present to himself
And his vocation

He invested
His entire being
In setting up his shop

Slow he was
As he removed the locks
Arranged them for display
And then came the keys
Beauty in his actions
Content on his face

Then came his tools
And his work board
Slow and poised
The world slowed around him

A locksmith I saw today
Content in his trade
A young man
With an old soul
