May this new year
Show the fruit of what we have learned
from the troubles and sorrows of the passing year
How we need each other
Always have, but somehow
Lost sight of our connection
To each other
To our earth home
To our heaven coming down home
May the fire
The flood
The hurricane force winds
The pandemic
Be used
To strengthen and straighten the bent and broken
Places in our hearts
To repair and renew
The moral compass
of all, including
The powers that rule
The powers that have crushed
The powers arising
Replacing the old
Bringing the new
Until, until
“The kingdom of this world
becomes the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ” *
How long
How long
How we long for that day
