Trust

A fragile peace lies held in the next move

Trust has to be reestablished because

It has been destroyed in the violation

Of an act. Hurting all who have been touched

By the words, actions, violence and we

Wait to see if what we all expect

Will continue or if something new

Can come out of the ashes as we all

Try to stand side by side. Making sure

Voices are heard and respected

Trying to pray reconciliation amidst

What is usual. Trying for a piece of

Good news out of something so offensive.

Where is the deep, deep love and flow?

Have we loosed something in heaven

We would never want? Do we bind things

Further? How might we get a glimpse of

the kingdom? Somehow we find it is in

The waiting and sitting side by side.

We cannot deny the ties of love which

Bind us no matter what this earth says.

God bind us further for your kingdom.
