Vessel Of God Poem by Rini Shibu

Vessel Of God

Rating: 5.0


You choose me from the pile of clay
to turn into a perfect piece
You kneaded me with your fingers
Made into soft piece of lump
Placed me on the wheelhead of this life
On  the spinning wheel  a new shape I got
but my mind and soul was not in peace
During trials and struggles I was weak
You burned me in the kiln
Made me  a strong vessel
Embellished me with attractive colors
And filled me with your wisdom
Beautiful and winsome is your art

Rini, after you commended me on my Poem of the Day, I decided to check out your Poet Page. This poem almost made me cry! Written with such depth and understanding. You captured that a perfect piece of pottery is not only beautiful to behold, but strong on the inside, too, due to being fired in the kiln (oven.) What a wonderfully insightful poem! Please write more like this!
