His radiance warms us through; sun-blushed
grapes, swelling ripe with holy purpose.
Gathered in, our skin bursts, flesh spills
in sacrifice, this unctuous mass must drip
its blood, ferment His riches in dry barrels,
distil goodness under willing, remade skin.
Life erupts. We walk with neighbours—
embodied lips speak love, pour joy, mend pain.
We fish the shoals with tender hooks, bait lines
with truth, catch those that swim the shadows.
