In The Potters Hands

Missing image
Lost in the may sun,
apricots glow
reminds me of an ending.
Closing my eyes,
ending this chapter.

God, is this sunset
an end to my past?
Or enrichment
to my future?

Pondering his destiny
at hand.
I can not be sad
as one day, passes
into night.

For tomorrow
His love brings
new life.
Fully emerged, my eyes
look at the horizon.

Reminding me
how small I really am.
When bowed before
my God.

His will close
one page.
Only to wake,
finding myself
new passages of life.

You Lord, in full control.
Teaching me there's beauty
in my breakings.

Opening my heart
to find new love.

In the Potters hands...

Sometime as God closes one day, We find He begins a new morning.

    my daughter liked your font and I your soft tones mor

    you qualify your sayings delicately

    the first stanza was shimmering with welcoming some endings, like when something's done to eat... or a segment for contemplation.

    thus, a direct attentuation or one for attention with the means. it reminds me how night night is an opportunity for a tune, operatic rest on the cornerstone of humbleness.

    but you display the main denominator of moved time with his works is "his love" and I our recognition assessing it to know to ask more within that not out of purpose's orbit per se. but restoration of our cracks is by abiding by repair mechanisms from sleep to seeking properly and you have examples "Fully emerged, my eyes
    look at the horizon." provisions are by "pages" so to speak and justifiably for depth as "Teaching me there's beauty
    in my breakings."

    Daily need dealt with can be duly appreciated for what's next,
    babies are my subject

    "For tomorrow
    His love brings
    new life."

    And so we pass our lifetimes a way seeking to learn the lessons that come our way. We always have the choice to seek the silver linings or to simply accept the pain it is our choice and we choose it and are responsible for it all the same. Do not swear by the Divine, for we can not make God responsible for our lives. We can only make ourselves responsible to God for the way we live them

    Enough, I wander astray. Beautifully written good use of metaphor. I think it should be He will close/one page ... But that is a minor point.
    Love, Tom B.
