Uphill idealist

In response to Rublev's Trinity Icon... The hunger that draws me close to You. This thirst that brings me back to Truth. Where else can these needs be met? Sift through the shallow, Push past the rest. The Bread, the Wine - Made real in Your time. The Body, the Blood - Fills my need in love. Cups to fill, Bread to break - Each day holds a Eucharist...

"WE MUST LEARN TO LIVE TOGETHER AS BROTHERS AND SISTERS" - and dance. Copyright T.L.Eastman 2007 ("...

Chicken salad at midnight Conversation to a song The words keep running in my head And won't rest till' they're done Lamplight and a new pencil Press me to make Rhymes with some reason Some meaning Some make A Kaleidoscope of covers And blankets askew Comfort my chilled body While my mind is a brew Chicken salad at midnight Fuels my need to relate The stories that need to breathe No matter how late.
