Broken Pots
Broken pots.
Far fallen dreams.
Leaves that spin away from their trees.
A face for each,
for each a life
branded by blessings,
mixed with strife.
Each day’s rhythm
rhymes with the last
a continuous conversation
with the past
all while falling
closer to the ground
all left wondering
Read the rest of the poem Show less
if any will hear the sound.
Broken pieces
of broken pots
once found
never lost.
Pieced back together
by the Potter’s own hand
left not to wander
in this nothing-land.

"Hello, Julia, Like Geezer, I knew this was about your faith long before you mentioned God - you described your doubts and convictions very well, and I felt both the turmoil and the devotion. I also agree that you may wa…" -

"I came to the part where you say. "You are not a checklist God" I knew that this was about your faith. Faith is a complicated thing, not so easily understood by some and certainly, there are those that simply believe as…" -
