The Potter's Pot

THE POTTER'S POT

The Potter's pot
Walks down the valley
In the woods
Of the forest of life.
Protected by its shed
On the path to the 
riverside.
The labyrinth forest,

Broken pot?
Lost in the forest? 
The stones of the forest 
And the footstep of 
others
Marked  against the 
walls of the path.
Weighed and found 
weightless,
Weighed and found 
wanting
Bt the riverside.

Back against the hills,
Weary in the forest and 
thirsty
On the path to the 
Potter.
No water to quench 
thirst.
The wayfarer.

Now the Potter
Weighs the pot
And found it worthless.
He repairs the broken
And gives map to the 
lost.
Pay heed, his next 
command
And fill your pot to 
overflow.
The Potter's pot.
