Earthen Treasure In Clay

From clay came a human form Given the breath of the Almighty Not formed of precious stones as Lucifer To remove the pride of adornment in Lucifer To install humility in clay fashioned in Adam And still enclose the Godhead in Adam From clay Divinity sowed the seed of the SuperNatural That the earthen vessel will glory in the Divine So that man's dependence will not be in themselves As we seek to return the glory to Him We are adorned with His nature . For His purpose When man is done doing His will, then shall . He retrieve His Spirit . Given to man for a lease And clay shall return to clay, then man's Soul shall return To the dwelling of the Almighty

Hello Joseph, That I would drop by to check out your poetry. And thanks again for your read of "Heinrich Heine Revisited." I noticed that your relatively new to Poetry Soup. I just wanted say "Welcome to Poetry Soup," and good luck with all of your poetic endeavors!! I really like your use of the "clay" metaphor in your poem, "Earthen Treasure in Clay." And you're right, we all shall one day return to the clay. A "7"!! (Please feel free to read any of my poems as you wish.) Best Wishes, Gary
