SCULPTOR

Wheat, flour, dough,

table, pan, bowl, hands,

the struggle to sculpt,

to carve, to mold, to form,

to try to grab and grasp

the formless energy

of the universe, called God,

better: Bread, 
God easy eating bread,

not a God who stands there

on a pedestal - posing as

a rock stone statue, but our God –

Delicious - Divine - Daily Bread,
cut crushed wheat,
becoming flour, kneaded and baked,

slowly rising, slowly sending

forth the sweet smell of bread,

to all – to all in the house -

coming under doors – through windows ….

Come – take – eat - taste - be in

communion with one another.
