Here is the yeast of thought that like the dough, though it become suppressed, is rising still within two souls whose vision is just one, then beaten once again becomes the bread, the mounting God, the sinews shared, the death of self, the breath of life.
"The death of self" To me it is the transformation from one's own thoughts to the sharing of one's thoughts with his creator. This has a real spiritual message, you did a fine job on this Dean.
When two people have the same dreams and the same visions of how to achieve them, life is wonderful. Perhaps it is the death of one self, but the birth of a better person....onewho can share. When that happens, life is indeed divine and two souls have met. Another good one, Dean. Lydi**

perhaps, then, we should greet everyone with Namaste!
There is a place in me and a place in you were we are one.. beautiful imagery with the bread weaved throughout the poem.. I am enchanted by your words, Dean.. very Zen.
This is something quite different for you...and yet very familiar. I love the bread metaphor; the rising agent of the yeast, filling all of the voids in the dough, and then pounded out again into an etable substance--bread (so much symbolic significance here). The last four lines...such a great tying up of the thoughts. Well done!
