Broken pieces
chipped and cracked
finding the hands
of the potter round them
converted, once more
into supple clay
giving freely
eager for shaping
to the potters plans

-------------
Going back on the potter’s wheel
Understanding the father,
perhaps in a different way
the creator, our savior
gathering us in
his arms open wide
taking in our brokenness
placing us
back on the potter’s wheel
changing us
molding us
new clay may we be
able to move, to flow anew
shaped by the potter once again

giving us two creation stories
