Al the Master Potter

Articulating boldness
         stand
in the fire and heat,
the ultimate chemical
reaction no one can
       compete.
    This divine
  individual blows
rings around the rest,
       then fires
them into a sensational
     spontaneous
and magnificent mass.
   This mountain of
   magnitude opens
the door and look what
       is bestowed
upon us, but the wonder
  of his skillful world.

The Rose

Her body is tall and slender and her veins surround her soul.
        The shadows of light change about her as the 
                    day fades into tomorrow.
Torn from her grounded past, she is now severed from thy
   growth which nurtured that soft petaled form of hers.
Sown with her roots, will she grow and flower now she lay
                   naked like beauty unseen.
The clouds of time gather around and rain down on her
                spoiled pastel coloured shape.
   Gripping hold of the last remaining lantern of light 
                 she bows her head and dies.
