On the Eucharist

Grace C. Przywara

This bread holds God—is God—hidden Heaven,
small and containing the hugeness of time,
plain and bursting with each kind of beauty,
white and reflecting the one piercing truth,
flat and filling the air up with goodness,
a circle surrounding a power complete,
bread that is everything words fail to say.

Grace received an English degree from the University of South Carolina. She has been writing poetry since she was a little girl who fell in love with writing (but decided novels took too long). She has been published in Life Matters Journal, a publication of the non-profit human rights organization Rehumanize International, and has been featured in the local newspaper. Grace currently lives in Aiken, South Carolina, with her husband and young son.
