day after day
what assurance rises in me
like the starlings in flight
the world continues to murmur
unending forever finding
some hint of hope
in the days that come again and again
our spirits struggle to strengthen
beaten after beating
can we reflect back to the world
the power of compassion and healing
see how we are the brightest stars
connected to the limitless beyond
urging each other's gifts of
community and light
