You might as well shove dirt
in my face and dump me in a
dumpster, if your gonna treat me
like this! I'm not taken this!
I'm leaven you with your dirt and trash!

Goodbye....

A woman took a measure of leaven,
then kneaded it with flour in her kitchen.
   A loaf did arise 
   to a wonderful size;
for like such is the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 13.33...

Unfruitful woman,
Grieving and barren
Lament not life’s fortune.
Heaven shall reckon.
Plump as a melon.
Life wrought its leaven.
Childbirth. My haven.

I am planning for a feast
without the beast,
so I can leaven the bread,
with the bowl of yeast,
but ninny tumble over
the leaven bowl of dough,
and upset the little beast,
who nibble the grocery list.

Passionate One
by Michael R. Burch
 
for Beth
 
Love of my life,
light of my morning,
arise brightly dawning,
for you are my sun.
 
Give me of heaven
both manna and leaven,
desirous Presence,
Passionate One....

a one to one
                 the way to go

with heart-to-heart appeal

Happiness is

Flour, yeast and water
mix it well
let the leaven rise 
with hands of humility
kneed the dough into bread
bake them well
bread has a crusty top.
Look at the loaf
you make so early in the morning
and be happy...

Listen to poem:

Mana 
David J Walker

As we too
Fail to
Live forever
On this earth 

And seek  
Safe Harbor 
Of new birth

A penance paid
For what
It’s worth

Regrets displayed 
Abstained in dearth 

A body made of leaven
Sends Mana
Down from  heaven

Life’s twists and turns
  he took in stride
Preferred to see their brighter side

Until one somber day
  fate took his love away
No longer could he laugh or play

Just sat and penned her poignant verse 
  his cries did rise to Heaven ~
'Board winged teardrops without leaven...

Love me, love me not. Doves flew; kneeled. 
Breaths of flaunting daisies yield. 
Across the narrow Irish loch, a leaven 
Bed of grassy emerald field; 
Bequeath, abreast 
the mountain crest, 
Beneath daunting, darken gray of heaven.
Love me, Love me not, seven doves shield.

To my Children and Everyone who needs Christ


CHRIST was and is the great I AM!
Heaven is our home, and Christ is our Leaven. 
Run into his arms, Run to the Son!
I AM sent him. They are one! 
Savior, Savior don't forget me, please forgive me!
Teacher teach me to pray. You surely are the CHRIST...

To leaven my load
I express in code
The pain that I feel
Still, nobody knows

To pass the time
I make it rhyme
Still, no one hears
The bottom line

It sounds so clear
To my, partial ears
Still others twist
The words they hear

It’s hard to heal
And learn to deal
When no one sees
The part that’s real...

Clean
Serene
All eggs spawned
Like pure love-bond
Share, care, live, let live
Fish, frogs, snails, snakes, worms new

Filled with faith, hope, love, trust,
Meet, mate; love, hate, lust;
Like the heaven
No leaven!
Amber!
Pure!

A city of pristine architecture,
From the grand art to the miniature,
Beauty on parade,  
Not a charade,
A doorway to relics,
A home of theatrics, 
A host of grand events,
Chauffeuring everyone to pleasurable moments,
A city under the kiss of heaven,
An abode with you is a creative leaven.

~strove abyss…
   gathering nothing…
   illusions…
   gross shadows… 
   signifying, not a thing…
   Love is the leaven…

~life is gift…
  precept is profit…
  abundant…
  wealthy store…
  Divine infinite, the source…
  immortal is Love!

Beauty stands summering beneath the heavens;
stimulate the imagination muses.
Leaves sing a lullaby, scents nature leaven.
Seeds bound teeming with life, of a thousand hues.

Dreams hued in summer of perfect love embrace.
A wink of amorous scene of warmth of grace
gold sunshine rays towards endless horizon.
Poetic rich color spun by Barbizon.

Sacred queen a gift of rejoicing celebration…
   
Unwavering giving absent is hesitation…
   
Pure beauty kindness you display, 

sharing blessed kisses the angelic way…
   
Ascended from heaven, your spirit doth the heart leaven…
   
Merry Mothering Molds Mighty Mortals…
  
Adoration, thankfulness I give to thee my sister…
   
The life giver, The Heart Mender, The Love Creator …...

A palette of tones and modes carefully laid on an unburning flame. _by Poet

  
 I gasp and utter silent sigh, in thrall
      poised on the edge of crisp susurrous fall
         mother's leaven variegated peaks
            lie on a sea of amber - scarlet streaks,
               yellow, and green allures xenial call

Being too kind
seems a bad idea for some;
never think of being a foul!


This goodness is dough with leaven...
and having been created in His likeness:
I am a model of grace to the unforgiven! 


I've built my character
on a wisdom that shines,
but many see only fear!


Tear it down, I will built it again with easiness... 
a thousands tries won't discourage me;
wound me with mean words and evil glances!...

Passover Matso
   the bread of servitude -- the slave's bread
   the bread of liberation -- the freed man's bread

Which is it? ~ We choose and have been chosen
                           to have it both ways




Do not oppress the stranger. 
Remember that you were strangers in the Land of Egypt...  

...For you left in haste and did not have time to let the
   leaven rise as you went forth from the Land of Egypt...

Salt of the earth
intended for flavor
Lacking in saltiness,
what’s there to savor?

No longer useful
ends in defeat
thrown out and trampled
under the feet

There for the world
shining and bright
up on a hill
out in plain sight

Not under a basket,
on a stand, before men
Reflecting His glory
not light from within

Works in your own strength:
a bit like leaven
Reflect your Father’s
glory from heaven

(from Matthew 5)...
