My bread dough rises like the sun
In a cold unleavened sky.
My heart is warmed,
My hands reaching out
To prepare the loaf it will become,
To bake,
To break,
To share.

and He took it
so that we might have
that which was sweet.

True Sacrifice
May 7, 2016Talking to an empty house,
unwanted and forgotten.
“i LOVE YOU THIS MUCH”
spoke the whisperer.
I knew the voice.
I reconsidered.
