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
