sarah’s tent
from Genesis 24, “Then the servant told Isaac all he had done. 67 Isaac brought her into the tent of his mother Sarah, and he married Rebekah. So she became his wife, and he loved her; and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.”
in sarah’s home, a palace of
rich fabrics, soft fabrics, generous
loving and painful moments, where
her child, her one & only child – Issac, was
conceived in faith, within
her old age, & with,
with Abraham’s broken,
ruined
body,
it is her tent, within
after hearing of the coming promise
she laughs inwardly at the Lord God’s promise, yet, after
hearing,
she invites
her husband to leave his tent once more, once again, to
enter hers,
sarah’s tent is all she has to
give
a son, her laugh, her poem, sarah loves Issac; her tent, home
she leaves him this, her
tent, her beauty, her life
when Issac 40 weds Rebekah, it is here & sarah, though
passed,
blesses him, her, them with
faith, a covering, a
tent
her tent
