My first “We Are” poem:
December 21, 2008
Here now
the moment is ripe
life awaits
we are suffering, we are blossoming
we are waking up, we are falling asleep
we are tormented, we are hopeful
and inspired
we are pleading and searching
we are grieving and hurting
we are lost in a maze of disconnect and desertion
There is wisdom calling us home
There is faith, joy, gracious wonder
wrapped in a moment of least expectant
wrapped in an action beyond pure comfort
We are opportunities
We are responsible for making a difference
We are
compassionate and sometimes trembling hands
open and receptive hearts attuned to grief and suffering, akin to giving and glowing
unbridled intellect and curiosity, committed to cause and inquiry
We are
devoted to the seen and unseen
listening to the mystery
informed by wonder and awe
we are
here
now
together
