Sweet Aroma

June 13, 2016 By Juanita Ryan Leave a Comment

Bread of life,
we breathe you in—
become intoxicated
by the hearty sweetness
of your aroma
awakening our hunger.

The fragrance of your love
reaches and enters,
entices us to seek you,
begs us to consume you,
invites us to make you
our source of life.

Bread of life,
broken and given,
we delight in the smell
and the taste of you.
We return to you,
seeking to satisfy our hunger
over and over again.

May we daily receive you,
breathing you in,
partaking of you,
letting you nourish
and satisfy us,
allowing you to be
our strength, our delight.
