Process of Creating

Cold, lifeless clay
Lies before me, stiff,
Waiting to be molded into life.
Aching fragments--
Ideas sifting thoughts,
Discarding superfluous memories
Like drifting, broken shells against the shore.
The mirror doesn't lie.
The clay is cold, shapeless,
Yearning for the warmth of my hands
As I long for the strength to greet each morning
And face what life has become.
Running my fingers over the smooth
Lump of destiny, I welcome the pleasure
To be had in the process of creating.

Process of Creating

Cold, lifeless clay
Lies before me, stiff,
Waiting to be molded into life.
Aching fragments--
Ideas sifting thoughts,
Discarding superfluous memories
Like drifting, broken shells against the shore.
The mirror doesn't lie.
The clay is cold, shapeless,
Yearning for the warmth of my hands
As I long for the strength to greet each morning
And face what life has become.
Running my fingers over the smooth
Lump of destiny, I welcome the pleasure
To be had in the process of creating.
