denying the chisel – v6

shaking off the touch

the hand of the Potter

wanting to be free

to grow our own way,

to rise ourselves

not wanting any help

resisting the Master

the marble defiant

denying the chisel

the work of the Sculptor;

the clay rebelling

leaving the wheel

refusing the Potter

the touch of love

the hand of teaching

trusting themselves,

denying the chisel

not willing to yield

avoiding the forge

the hammer, the anvil

refusing to bend to the Smithy

to conform to the teaching;

going their own way

not submitting to God
