Presence 7: Arts That Inspire Reflection & PrayerExemplo
Our Hearts Have Seen A Scorching
Hearts
Wilt like flowers
If not tended to.
Hostile elements
Lay them bare,
Their home a ghost town,
A dusty road into oblivion.
Our hearts have seen a scorching.
Before we relent,
We look beyond.
Eyes closed.
New sight arrives.
Behold now the rivers.
Great torrents of justice
Bursting through dry ground,
Waking the needy
Shaking the greedy
Setting things right
Finally.
Imagine.
Behold now the winds.
Whispers of healing
Swirling through trees
Repairing, renewing
Wrapping itself
Around you and me.
Behold now the dreams,
Words we weaved.
Hopeful, soulful
Imaginings
At last, unearthed
At last, seen.
Imagine.
Behold now the motives.
Commerce, government
Rulers, influencers
Gathered selflessly,
Tethered to purity.
Behold now the love.
Life of parties,
Bedrock of decisions,
Laced through conversations,
Hands wide open,
Everyone belongs.
Imagine.
These second chances,
These things made new.
Our hearts take a breath.
We are what we imagine.
And we are full of light.
