at her parent’s home she waits
while he tends to the fire
that forms the
bricks
curtains
furniture
lamps
utensils
all made of
clay
sold
and saved
as a dowry
for his love
who like him
is made
from the same clay
I really like this poem… gives a deep image of making so many things out of clay — and then adds that he and she are also made of clay. a really thoughtful poem.
A beautiful image, simple and touching. Tending the fire of love in such a practical way, and how the fire fixes the shape of clay. Leaves me with much to think on.

The only thing that varies is the market price of the respective clay. Clays. Whatever. 😉
Thanks for reminding me that I too am made of the same clay as they.

I love your insightful perspectives on humanity – this one in particular. Peace,
That is beautiful. Simple words but they express so much. It is really touching.
You do have that magic of drawing me into your wonderful world. Very creative are you! 🙂 Have a fun week.
made from the same clay… what a wonderfully beautiful way of expressing being one.. in passion, love, and life.
Lovely
