Broken Vessel

 



The broken vesselStrewn across the floor.Fragments scattered far.The pattern of originalGone forever. The shape, the symmetryThings of the past.One asks:"What the mishap?What the sudden,Shocking drop?"As if somehow

Reversing the loss

Of earlier glory.

And what of that glory?

Thing of men's fashion.

Mis-spent resources.

Calling for kisses

Of praise.

Pride of a pot.

Others have not.

So let it shatter.

Life of convention.

Painful pretention.

Now search for beauty,

Most worthy duty,

Living like Christ

Pearl of great price.
