Into The Fold

Life.
Life-
Life is moving at a breakneck speed.
Events and experiences, coming and going, like information transferred on internet servers.
i have a life i live through me.
i have a life i live through you.

multi. faceted. multiple. lives.
round and round it goes.
we are the clay on the potter's spinner.
where the potter is time, and we are setting.
and the spinning doesn't stop.
round. and round. and round. and round.
the wheel of life goes.

one moment a bowl, the next a vase and then a pot.
a metamorphosis greater than any.

what is the best form the clay must take,
to let it's beauty show?
would the best of it be brilliant and bright?
or the worst of it be dull and dusty?

would it keep it's core nature?
or be burnt into something better?

certain clays must be kept the way they are
as they are desired for their natural qualities.
yet other clays turn out beautiful
after moulding and baking.

it is still spinning on the wheel.

once insignificant dirt from the earth,
now valued for what it will be.

from outcast, now brought into the fold.
