Remaining new clay – v2

After the molding, the shaping

the creation of our lives

the Potter still there

the firings, the heat,

the flames and trials

our struggles, our growth,

ever by our side

Ever remaining new clay

alive, malleable,

in the Potter’s hands

even our shards giving,

able to be whole once more

as new clay, going back

upon the Potter’s wheel

giving us two creation stories
