Possession is not an embrace
but a reluctance to let go, a suffocation,
certainly not an enfolding, a sharing.
Grasp not greedily but with fascination
nor with disregard, but with care.
Today is fragile for it has yet to be formed;
mold opportunity with a potter's hands,
unafraid, with an adventurer's heart.

This is for "Poets United - Midweek Motif - Carp Diem - Seize the Day" The photo doesn't exactly go with the poem but I loved the freedom of it - the exuberance.

Yes, a potter's hands mold with love and care and creativity, most of all love is the giving of yourself to share.
Mold with a potters hand
Unafraid, with an adventurers heart..
Beautiful
Your closing lines make us aware that life is truly art and craft. So beautifully penned.
Your metaphor all work so well! Who would not rather craft a life than own it?
Wonderful piece, Margaret. I especially like this line "Today is fragile for it has yet to be formed".
