The Potter´s Hand
We are being formed
fashioned for a purpose
Not yet complete
malleable but stubborn
Free will to be subdued
as the psalmist says
The potter and teacher
are one in their work
The end is assured
and within sight
Meanwhile we wait
until all is accomplished
Then we move forward
to an ultimate destiny
Beautiful poem that requires to be read again and again.

This almost sounds like a piece of scripture in its own right if no other reason for the way it has been so beautifully written.
Thanks for posting Keith

A wonderful poem! Are we being guided by forces and if so, do we follow them or not? Either way we wait until destiny arrives at our doorstep. A thought provoking poem for all those who read it. Thank you Keith! Jane?

You speak a lot of truths in this poem. Your first two lines are gripping. Overall enjoyed the poem and the way it flowed. I found it hard to read and wasn't sure where to take a breath, to move on. You can read this in several ways and each giving different value. Not a bad thing. And yes it deserves to be read several times. Would find interesting to hear how you would read this. I like the simple message, wise. Thanks for sharing.
