In what we see
and what we meet
facing this moment
with a welcome for what it brings
can all the hurts and wrongs
be released from the prison
of resentment
you have placed them in
to be forgiven as you are
by the silent one who watches
and prays for you
to be finally freed
to fly into that moment of clarity
and then
what is left to be
but just this heart
that accepts the pain
as a symptom of being alive
and discovers understanding in finding
we learn and live
without the need for an umbrella
to protect us from the sun and rain
we can experience this life
and welcome a new day
with an open heart
that is unafraid
as the silent teacher bows
at the miracle of grace
