Bread Upon the Waters…
I thought using a Bible passage might be a nice exercise to be motivated to write some poetry.
I’ve written a few haikus using Ecclesiastes 11:5 as my prime mover:
“As you do not know the path of the wind,
or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb,
so you cannot understand the work of God,
the Maker of all things.”
Powerful words

I stop, stop in time,
remembering wind and womb
are God’s creation
Bundled up against
the wind, I feel like a
fetus in the womb
Mystery, all is
mystery, the genesis
of womb to wind, howl
Thou art womb and egg,
motion matter green-grown hills,
wind and all, and all
You are the Maker,
floating me in sweet wind’s-song,
caressed in your womb
