I thought
He was at this table
with us-
We're ever feasting
still more hungry
ever lacking.
This unkempt stranger outside
The one with only bread and wine
So simple what he is offering
the needy,
the poor,
the hungry,
the weary,
the sinners…
A taste and they are
Satisfied
Drink and are overflowing.
This banquet's prepared
for someone with
More-
More than bread
More than wine
More to bring to the feast we’ve made
More...
More...
but
Humble compared to the rich meat-
Poor next to the delicacies on
the finely crafted plates-
This stranger’s offering
the thing that is
Lacking
The bread
The wine
of mercy

Hey there Brittany. I know you tried to add me on that one thingy and for some reason it wouldn't let me. I couldn't find you on it, so I figured I try to search for you online and found this. Nice little blog you got going here. You certainly do a lot of poetry. Anyways, if you want you can try and add me again and I'll see if I can get it right now. I hope you're doing well readjusting if you're still back here in the "wonderful" USA. I still want to hear about Uganda. Mike Santana (pedro4god@yahoo.com)
ReplyDeleteHi Mike! Good to hear from you, I added you onto the Uganda chain... I'm not too consistent with emailing but when there's something noteworthy going on I generally send out something. I am back in CA, still feel like I am trasitioning! I hope all is well with you and your family, it's good hearing from you!
