A Clay Pot Poem by Doris Cornago

The poem's meaning is that we will not be worthy of what we seek unless we have sorted out what we truly need from this life, and having done that, anything that we find in our search will be worth more than that we find, and accordingly, the search will be complete without even finding that treasure. This is a simplified story-poem in the form of a puzzle, taking a respite from convoluted poems as my man begged me to and told me he cannot keep pace. I share with all as the memory and emotions linked with it are too precious to hide beneath a stone.
