Hands Of The Potter ~*Marge Tindal*~  I am but the potter's clay thrown upon the wheel to lay Awaiting gentle touching hands to mold me into more than sand Wet caress spun with ease artfully crafted gentle squeeze Finishing touch crimp of edge set to dry upon the ledge Coated with a splash of glaze left to dry another day Placed in kiln for easy baking I am but a vase in making Admired for the beauty of his art I am molded from his heart Hands so gentle did create this vase to hold a flower in wait Until someone takes me home crowning flowers for my throne I am but the potter's clay waiting here in quiet display ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

A number of years ago, I experience a series of losses and was moved to write a trilogy, part of which was used in eulogy. I too used the image of we as vessels from the potter's wheel. This image for me says it all. How wonderfully you have written for us. How very gentle your words. ~Shalom "I am not now that which I have been." |

Julian~ How pleasing to this poet to know that I touched a memory for you. I have always felt I was a vessel, into which the thoughts of others are gathered. It gives me great satisfaction to share the pouring of those thoughts with others. Your reply has made my day. Thank you so much. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

I'm so glad I stumbled onto this one.... For eleven years now that verse, Jeremiah 18:4, has resided in a simple black frame, at the corner of my office desk. Some day perhaps I'll tell you why...meanwhile, I'll just say it warms my heart to see those words woven into something beautiful. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
