So Much Bread

Moody skies

And you

Walking with me

On an endless bridge

Across the river Jordan

To a Land Flowing with Milk and Honey

I like Ecclesiastes, Lamentations

& Psalm 88

They show me it’s alright to be sad

And a believer too

All wrapped up in human

Yet we walk.

We are walking somewhere.

Through wood & lilac

Float me a smile and I shall fly

Milk & Honey & no love handles

Just a handle on a Love

Warm & devoid of fallen complication

He said give me your burdens

Heavy laden one

Yet we turn to any influencer who says

Inhale, exhale, unclench your jaw

Lower and un round your shoulders

As if this was novel wisdom from heaven

Jesus is manna from Heaven

Never gunna spoil manna

I’d live my life for Him.

Why, I’d even go to His House

Early bright on a Sunday Morning

I’m gunna need some bread

When I crash and burn

Through the pearly gates

Fasted, scarred, burned by this life

Bread from the bread truck

Bread from the house of bread

Bread unrelenting bread

From crucified hands

Enough for 5,000 hungering souls

Give me a sermon and all the bread

Of Heaven
