together
we work
twisting fallen branches
into shelter
sanctuary
for the wretched lost
no room
for anger and ego
no place for
such luxurious
self indulgences
as that
but for
perseverance, hope
and unfailing faith
there is
an infinite fortune
of welcoming space
for the wretched lost
we weave sanctuary
from fallen branches
unified by fire
together
we work

Beautiful - the human spirit that rises up in the aftermath to help each other. Love this!
ReplyDeleteAnd amid those branches we see those for what they are....and ourselves for who we are...
