Pottery


This vessel is cracked
Water can only be held within
Halfway up; up to half way down
Yet this bowl can be used
To wash dusty feet

This vessel is scarred
A gash here deep within
A chip here; a chip there
Yet it still has beauty
It reflects another image

This vessel is shattered
Nothing can be held within
A shard here; a shard there
Yet the pieces are to be taken
To make something else

This vessel is sealed
A mystery lies within
Something powerful; something sweet
To be poured out
-HM
