To touch the soul of another human being is to walk on holy ground.

O Lord

It is easy to forget

the sacred in others

Sometimes it is difficult

to get past

all the external distractions

the anger

the hate

the poverty

hard to look past

the dirt

and the drunkenness

the behaviors we do not like

hard to look past

the smell

and the raggedness

hard to look past

the racing minds

the voices we cannot hear

the dark depression

that silence and isolation

 

but Lord

inside each of us

you reside

the Sacred seed is there

and when we reach out

with understanding

and compassion

when we reach out

and touch

we are on holy ground
