Historical Clay Pots

Molded clay in its most natural form
mundane with hollow warped edged
frailty succumbly immersed in the kiln
innocently before influence of religion
with implications of a Buddhist priest
in realms of transcendental meditation
only unrefined textures of forged clay
with fingerprints intact still uncovered
preserved potter shell of fleshly grays
as oil seeped through blemished spots
ugly at first sight but representative of
its design created by Ancient of Days
for transportation of life giving waters
to sustain tribes of nomadic habitation
preserved for view thousands of years
in the grandeur of our heart's museum.

-Robert E. Michaud Jr.-

Historical Clay Pots (Remolded)

Molded clay
in its most
natural
form
mundane
with hollow
warped edged
frailty succumbly
immersed in the kiln
innocent before influence
of religion unlike implications
of Buddhist priests in realms of
transcendental meditation only to
be unrefined textures of forged clay
with fingerprints intact still uncovered
preserved potter shell of fleshly grays
as oil stain seeped in blemished spots
ugly at first sight but representative of
its design created by Ancient of Days
for transporting of life giving waters
in sustenance of human existence
preserved for view thousands of
years in the grandeur of our
heart of heart's museum.

"in the grandeur of our hearts museum" I love this line! Wonderful poem, Bob..Ellie

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

I find it amazing that your words outline a clay vessel. Totally in awe.
