white fluff rises | silent promise unfurls | humble grains and water's touch leavens bread so virginal | crust crackles | whispers of comfort through laughter shared | secrets told sudden sharp crust stings | redness pool | the tip of my finger my tongue taste | metal twang of betrayal | echo of silence where trust once embraced | crumbs of memories | now burnt remains humility hardens | inedible mound | amidst the pain | a lesson learned find the strength | rise higher still | forgive one day | though never forget and build new bonds | wherever God leads | new breads can still be true but check for razor edges!
