Lectio Divina with Rosemary
Fierce bush, flame-like
sturdy in drought
lush in plenty
The touch of rosemary
rain-touched, yet sticky with sap
soft and cloying
Its evergreen leaves,
delicate blades
placed in hardy limbs
The scent nostalgic
refreshing memory
earthy and cleansing
The faint whisper of fingers
tracing over leaves, echoing
in the past and future
The tease of mint and wood,
almost burning in its flavor
as it reaches my tongue
Common yet striking,
humble and holy,
as a friend at Her hearth
