    "His Lump Of Clay"

     All I have are memories
    Memories of my past
    Relationships that made me smile
    But none of them would last
    Now my heart knows no joy
    It's sorrow every day
    And to the God that I once loved
    No longer do I pray
    I no longer see a future
    The days they just go by
    Movies with happy endings
    They always make me cry
    Why my birth into this world?
    No reason for me to be
    What is my purpose on the Earth
    If I can't be happy?
    "Oh Well', I have been molded
    From His lump of clay
    Can the pot say to the potter
    Why am I made this way?

       Sam K. Dyer.

    Sam your poetry is engaging and talks about feelings in real life and there is plenty of music in those lyrics and I do wish joy and bliss for you daily. Do you know the hymn about the potter (Jesus) and his creation....I don't remember the words but the tune just appeared as I read your bittersweet poetry. But, I know you are doing okay because from your poems I can see you have respect and love for the maker of this universe. I even remember the beautiful picture you made of a mother in another of your poems. All the best this coming holiday and may it be the most special....just for you.

    Exceptional ending, trully exceptional, interogativ, pure like a scream toward humankind. I'm not so sure about the "road" who is reaching the final philosophical question, verses who doesn't sustain the "belcanto" of the poem. Adriano

    Thank you so kindly. I will get to your poetry as I am able. I'm currently very busy planning a trip to D.C. Sam.

    Thank you. I'm also a songwriter. I was moving up in the acting biz, but my compassion is writing. U R my first comment. Again thanks. Sam.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
