Lowly Sacrament

Apr 25
1 min read

Tumble down

The terrace steps,

Into the misty, murky, cool, damp depths

​

Of rice paddies,

Stacked in rows they peer,

As stalk behind stalk holds sustenance dear.

​

As grey draws in

And fog stoops down,

I sit watching the growth of a grain well renowned

​

For feeding mouths,

Moulding temples and shrines;

Sacraments reared from lowly staples of mine.
