my clay still wet

ever may I be able to proclaim
my clay still wet
still sitting on the potter’s wheel
feeling the touch of his hands
the drawing me out
shaping me, molding me
crafting me for his purposes
ever pliable, changing
following the master’s will

on reading the earlier poem

posted to Christianpoetry today

-----

My Clay

Praying, in the quiet of my heart

my clay, giving myself

my heart, my all

becoming a vessel

worthy for God’s purposes

filled with God’s love

His living water

pure, refreshing

waters for the soul

Let me pour them out,

sharing them, my clay still wet

dripping with the waters of your love
