Molded Clay

Handle me as your slab of clay
hold me, mold me,
make me your way,
touch me by night, touch me by day.

Take me, this gray, moldable mass,
give me style,
give me class,
treat me as if thin, crystalline glass.

Sculpt me, draw my mouth, a tender line,
lips so fine,
for sipping wine,
and softly make my eyes tilt, incline.

At top of brow trace a strand of hair
lifted here,
held with care,
as if your hand were softly laying there.

But should you lose a moment or day,
walk away,
perhaps not stay,
your absence will indeed crack this clay.

Hello Sunshine
This was so cleverly written and was thoroughly enjoyed by this reader.  You painted such a vivid picture from your palette of words.  Take care......Sue

HAPPY NEW YEAR
