Did you see?
Were you there?
Did you hear?
People
From many backgrounds
Religions
Faiths
Beliefs
Spiritual orientations
Perspectives
Came together
To mourn
To declare
To connect
Lifting eyes
And hearts
To seek help.
Do we still lift our eyes
To the mountains?
Will our help
Come from the Eternal One?
We learn
From Elie Wiesel,
one who could have lost
All hope
All belief
All resolve
That “life is not a fist
Life is an open hand
Waiting for
Some other hand
To enter it.”
Perhaps
If we join hands
And lift our eyes
To the mountains
Together
With hearts turned
One towards another
Our help from God
Will finally come.
