The Beast Was the Baker

Bread... The dinner for a beast. Is it the yeast... that creates the feast? Or is the feast created... by the battle underneath? A grain was buried. A seed had to die. A field had to surrender... before reaching the sky. A little spark of life... hidden inside the invisible... begins the transformation... of the ordinary into mystical. The bacteria of question... The difference of opposition... The thing we call corruption... Could it be the hidden composition? Because without resistance... would the muscle ever grow? Without the darkness... would the stars ever show? Without the pressure... would the diamond ever form? Without the storm... would the roots learn to hold? The dough does not curse the yeast... when it begins to rise. The seed does not fear the soil... when it leaves its disguise. The river does not hate the stone... that shapes its endless song. The warrior does not hate the battle... that teaches where they belong. The beast comes to the table... not knowing what it seeks. Searching for the answer... hidden underneath the feast. But the beast is not defeated... by a stronger blade. The beast is transformed... by the choices it has made. Because hunger is a teacher. Pain is a strange guide. The shadow is the question... that walks beside the light. The loaf becomes a symbol... of everything we've been. Broken down and rebuilt... again and again. The fire is not destruction... when the purpose is creation. The trial is not punishment... when it births revelation. So ask the yeast... ask the unseen hand... Ask the forces changing... the dust into a man. Was it ever the enemy? Was it ever the disease? Or was it the hidden ingredient... bringing us to peace? The beast sits at the dinner... with a hunger it can't explain. Eating from the table... built from suffering and rain. And when the final bite is taken... when the feast has come undone... The beast looks in the mirror... and realizes... it was never the one. The beast was the baker. The beast was the flame. The beast was the question... searching for its name. And the bread... the simple bread... was never just a meal. It was existence teaching us... that change is how we heal.
