What is the healing that we want
As we move towards greater restoration
Of our opportunities
To be present for one another
In the same space?
Ears that can listen better
To calls for assistance from people in need
Eyes that can more clearly see
The necessity of empathy
In aiding the human struggle for equality and equity
Hands that can reach with increased strength and distance
To lift the spirits of people touched by loss and grief
And to guide our communities along the path
Of wise choices that will lead to widespread and safe reunion
Minds that will be more readily open to new ideas
And that will more completely distinguish between
Fact and falsehood.
Hearts that will more completely feel
The pain
And the joy
Of all humanity
So that we will ultimately come together
As one world
Emerging from this passage
With closer ties
Mutual respect
Growing trust
Deeper wisdom
And persistent hope.
