We all suffer
When one suffers
Like ripples on the water
Tracing it back
To the original stone
Shattering the calm
It all makes sense
Our connections
All fractured
All hearts broken
Let us go easy
Be gentle
Let the drops bead up
With Holy Oil
And roll
Rather then
Added to the burden
Of offences
We all carry
True self takes no prisoners
And knows
We will be welcomed home
With love

Redemption
Taking broken pieces of pottery
Once beautiful in their wholeness
Now scattered in the ground
Found and gathered
Painstakingly pieced together
Into a magnificent mosaic
The Connection
Love is the strong bond that grows and tightens
Our connections with one another
It is tested frequently
And when the result is acceptance
And the choice is to continue to love
The bond becomes ever stronger
Love gives us the desire to know the beloved
To see the one loved in a true and forgiving light
This knowledge means I know to some degree
The unhealed pain in the heart
That drives the madness
We all have at times
Yet, choose again to love
