The Flour And The Dough!!!


I poured some water on the flour

And kneaded it with such power

And then left it for an hour.

I watched the dough rising slowly

From a place humble, lowly

To a state of fullness, holy.

Through a slow transformation

The dough grew with elation

Ready for its next vocation.

The lesson that the dough taught me

Through my process patient be

Then the outcome I shall see.
