The Kiln

Fragile,as a tender pot
He moulds us in the furnace
The fire makes our beauty last
Clean,glazed mistakes erased-
A new creation cast.

My husband just read a book how to build your own kiln. Quite a project, perhaps when he retires. Ceramics are a lovely art. Perhaps you have symbolic meaning here. Love, Shar
