Peace

The sky has gone gray-green and soft
As we lay in each other's arms
The clouds are no longer threatening
Just gently covering the sun like a blanket
From the shelter of you, I see the rain
It does not frighten or discomfort
All the world is peaceful from here
Let's let everything else just disappear

Bread Alone

The bread at the feast

Never gets the credit

Always there, warm and ready

Slightly soft, crusty on the outside

Ready to mop up the leftovers

No one ever sits down

For a meal of bread alone

Ripped open

Hot, steaming

Torn, it’s never the same

Shared, it’s always better

But it never

Stands

On its own
