The Potter And The Clay

Isaiah 64:8

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bumpy clay lays on a table

No lustrous colour appears

Somberness is its personality

Shapeless contour is featureless

 

Warm hands secure to lifeless form

Assusive voice calms its fear,

"I am the potter and you are the clay."

Creativity begins to mold

 

Eyes azure blue glisten

Ashen complexion fades

Porcelain skin radiant and new

Shines on a newly formed face

Tender hands softly stroke his creation

Tranquil voice repeats,

"I am the potter and you are the clay."

 

Clay begins to turn humanlike

A heart beats in a translucent chest

Fragile blood course through veins

Physical structure stares at her reflection

Light illuminates a soothing glow

A serene voice whispers,

"I am the potter and you are the clay."

 

An individual stands in reverence

As she stares at her maker

Then, in a prudent voice she says,

"You are the potter and I was the clay."

We are being molded through out our lives by someone and situations that we are in. Nice job on this. I enjoyed reading it.

[Audrey Howitt]

Nice piece and really nice ending to it!

[Art Sun]

aren't we all just clay within the hands of our maker...nice work on this poem...

[Shellie]

The ending got me there; really great ending. 'I was the clay'. It stands so powerful all by itself. Especially after the 'I am the potter and you are the clay'- it begs the question to many minds- Who is who? Really good.

[ShaneBerry]

this seems to have some very strong personal and theological (religious) ties to your own life, impeccably detailed in its imagery, and unique as many of your works are. this one truely grabbed my attention to the end.
thank you for shareing

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

I really, really like the ending of this one. I was the clay..........how significant and profound.

[Wolf's Dark Song]

The act of creating something that goes the way you want it, how wonderful!

[Tina Kline]

I like this. The artist creating and the creation is glorious. Who is the artist and who is His creation?

Excellent piece
He is the potter and we are the clay, he molds us into what he wants us to be, it is us who change that sometimes.
Awesome discriptions and imagery

[SoulCrusader (Yas)]
