Psalm 49
(a penultimate song)
Before the last,
One more thing,
Please, to say:
O Lord, like all
The seasons that
You muster,
You are constant
In provision;
Might we live in
Gratitude,
Thirsty children
Who can yet look
Up before
We stoop, saving,
To drink—
Risking, yes, a
Moment of hurt
Brilliance
Gazing, as we
Do, toward the
Direction of one
Who has
Left life for us
In a healing cup,
Freely filled with
Consequence,
And bread that
Was earth-fired,
Once

Lovely Christopher. I like the communion references and the line about it being “earth fired once” in terms of the cups and plates used. Also, you talk of “thirst” which fits with this 🙂

Thank you, Mandi! I did want the communion references there, pointing (as they do) toward the one whose blood and body they represent.
