Like the Potter

Like the potter
with his hands on the inside
and the outside of the bowl
molding us, on the wheel

Shaping us, chiseling
the rough edges
the rough-hewn stone of our lives
giving to his loving hands

Submitting our lives
our bodies given over
preparing us
new eyes, new bodies
living in the new Jerusalem
