The Potter’s Wheel
Spinning like the Potter’s wheel
Ancient days and ancient ways
Traverse this earth in cycles
Spinning into foggy dawn
Recycling into sunset
In boring revolution
Time without evolution
Spinning like the Potter’s wheel
Until the potter is gone
Swallowed by oblivion
Ancient days and ancient ways
Unnoticed until missing
Like faithful dedication
Enduring pain with patience
Or aging gracefully
Spinning like the Potter’s wheel
Finally the ancient ways
Spin into eternity

Dedicated to the Potter’s wife, whose husband is now passed away –
May God have mercy on him, his family, and us all.

Ahh, that’s much better! who told WP to spam you, how crazy!!! but it’s fixed now, no worries. I’m so happy to see you, Dearest Sue, how have you been? Summer was amazingly busy here, but slowing down now, hopefully. Thanks so much for the visit and your beautiful words! ❤ ❤ ❤

I had missed your posts, 🙂 You have such talent within your poetry Aisha..
Yes it happened because I caught up on one blog and left about 10 comments in succession on their posts the last few disappeared, Thankfully I could log in with my other email account for my Gardening blog, but the only draw back with that is that WP does not respond it back to my notifications so I don’t get to see replies unless I return to the actual blog..
Hopefully all is sorted now Fingers crossed xx
