the Potter
touching inert clay
the stuff of
the earth
dirt and
living water
making the dead
malleable
dirt and the
breath of life
giving hope to
the clay
ash and the
Spirit
coming
together
my vessel
formed
within my
mother’s womb
my vessel
forming
made new again
by the touch
of the Potter
in the loving
hands of God
ever making me
what God needs
working at the
wheel

In the Potter’s Hands
I am clay in the potter’s
hands
Mold me, shape me, make me
What you will of me
Use me for your purposes
Imbue me with the skills,
the spirit
To serve where you would
have me serve
Performing the services you
would intend
Wherever you would send me
However you would will me
To send me forth
From this space, this place
Into the world
As your servant, your son
Your child, in your image,
The image of your son,
Our brother, our example,
Our savior, like us clay
Held in the potter’s hands
