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

Gary Bateman April 28, 2017 at 10:36 AM 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
