Sarah Rehfeldt

Offerings
It doesn’t have to be much.
It hardly needs to be spoken,
a word –
 
Even
an ordinary,
somewhat rounded,
small,
imperfect pebble
pulled from broken fragments of shell and drift,
once polished,
placed inside the center of your palm
and held out to the sky,
will let the sunlight sparkle through it.
 
What little it takes.




Sarah Rehfeldt lives with her family in western Washington, where she is a writer, artist, and photographer. Her publication credits include Appalachia; Blueline; Written River; Weber—The Contemporary West; and Presence: An International Journal of Spiritual Direction. Her work has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize in poetry. Sarah is the author of Somewhere South of Pegasus, a collection of image poems. It can be purchased through her photography web pages at www.pbase.com/candanceski.
