Potter’s Wheel
His Hands are wet with my clay.
Spinning, spinning.
Shaping, shaping.
His Mind already holds
The beautiful Design.
The figure and fascination.
That I am yet to be.
His Way.
His Peddle pumping.
There has been no squeezing errant.
His smiles already apparent.
Thank you Lord.
I stay here in place
In Purpose.
Amen.
About this poem
There have been so many images of the Divine Potter and of His subject material in place and yielded to the Hands of Providence.
