Bread and Water

Heard a lot of sermons

drunk at the Church's breast.

Avoided sand, built on rock.

The straight n narrow way to be blest

 

Tried hide and seek with angels

who laughed at men and mice.

Then played hunt the thimble

with the pearl of great price.

 

But the furniture moves about these days

Keep getting a different view.

I think there's more questions than answers

though can't tell you whether that’s true.

 

So now the bread it comes unsliced.

To be cut with a double-edged knife.

The water comes unfiltered,

Full of germs. Full of life.

 

Write the word TRUST on a stone

and throw it in the sea.

Watch the ripples till sunset. 

Touch the mystery.

I'm not a fan of the rhyme in this but like the way you've played with ideas and the imagery you've used Dave.
