Poetry About Eucharist

A small white host rests lightly on the tongue. Wine darkens the rim of a shared cup. Ancient words return around the table. Remember, the quiet congregation hears. The ordinary gifts become a sacred promise. Many hands receive one broken bread.

Look again from the quieter edge. Wine darkens the rim of a shared cup. A smaller detail changes the whole scene. Remember, the quiet congregation hears. Attention loosens the first easy answer. Many hands receive one broken bread.

A small white host rests lightly on the tongue. Hours pass, but the image does not leave. Ancient words return around the table. It returns us to bread, wine, remembrance, communion, sacrifice, gratitude, and Christian worship gathered around a table. The ordinary gifts become a sacred promise. The day continues with a more attentive heart.
