Poem: Broken Bread and Whine
O my Lord, help me move beyond
this downward expression of:
confused, constant complaining;
where’s the reflection of Love?
Is my simple Christianity like:
Stale bread with a harden crust?
Is my sad, suffering condition
a spiritually dry, wheat rust?
Lord, let me be broken for You,
so Your bright Light in me shines;
in service, let me be poured out
like sweet, sacramental wine.
The dryness of my worn Faith
has become worthless rubble.
No one wants “bread of affliction”
as a prompt for past troubles.
The bitterness of sour grapes
is never a healthy sign;
help get me off this crash diet-
of this broken bread and whine.
Lord, let me be broken for You,
so Your bright Light in me shines;
in service, let me be poured out
like sweet, sacramental wine.
Will people stop offering
me their cheeses for my whine?
Please break the endless cycle of
this spiritual decline.
Stop people from offering
me their cheeses for my whine.
Please break the endless cycle now,
before I run out of time.
