Love in the Debris

When you have found the courage

To marry forgiveness.

You will have found the courage

To marry

Love

the heart

is a restless hunter

it seeks to find

love

not frail love

as in roses and

wine

but love as in compassion

and generosity,

acceptance

of the poorest of the poor

love in the dirt

the debris

of lives disintegrated

but love cannot be found

without forgiveness

we must forgive who they are

we must forgive

who we are

we must see all through the sacred lens

for beneath it all

there is truly no

we

and

they

we are all children

of

the Sacred
