How dark a soul must be
how wounded, numbed and full of fear?
Throwing bombs is never fair!
How can we feel trust
in moments of disruption?
How can we live and thrive
without pangs of guilt, lack of compassion?
Yet there is no sense in weakening
the strength inside we have,
yet there is no future
in giving up our loving hearts!
All we have is holding on
to the secret of our right
to feel and love and be light.
