ASTOUNDED

In the calm quiet

a burning Hope rages on.

Fierce BOLD courage here.

I cannot lift up

the weight of anguish, resting

on fallen shoulders.

But I can give, pray.

Astounded by a people

Rich in LOVE, FAITH, VERVE

A dream of the end

Compels heart, pushes hand, and

carries brokenness.

May the Miracle

of PEACE transform the ashes

AND

Restore RADIANCE.
