She Accepts
Fate
A cruel
Proficient potter
A wise man
Strives
To perfect his soul
Kneading his heart
Like a lump of clay
Hard as the middle of thunder
Pride keeps him
From making peace
Closely embraced
Much too close
To bare his eyes
Behold afar
Heaven and Earth
As wine
He offers her a cup
With wealth enough
To ease all pain
She accepts
Softening his heart
Making it easier to mold
