eventide hymn
"Broken loaves, abundant giving;
broken lives, abundant living." - CAB
“In the morning there is meaning, in the
evening there is feeling.”
—Gertrude Stein
i will be your peace
in the midst of all your pieces,
for i hear your pleas,
as your helplessness increases.
fragments i shall mend
to restore their constitution,
though i must contend
with the cost of absolution.
i will give you bread,
where dark clouds have bred starvation:
come and dine, instead,
at the table of salvation.
broken loaves, for me,
signify abundant giving;
broken lives, for thee,
celebrate abundant living.
let me be the friend
who defends you when life's troubles
chase you to wit's end,
like a wild wind's thirst for bubbles.
come away and rest
where the evening, in the hollow
of its golden crest,
peace brings with its sweet cembalo.
