circles

a potter's wheel turns
the cups hardly understand
that someone's thirsty

just a broken cup
fondly picked up by someone
who undertstands thirst ..

  2. nice images and a wonderful metaphor.

    most of us don't understand why we're here...or whose thirst we might quench!

  5. Loved this, especially the spiritual symbolism for me of :
    just a broken cup
    fondly picked up by someone
    who undertstands thirst ..
