Be Your Best

We are not being asked to do better

We are being invited to be our best.

In a world of pain and injustice

We are being asked to remind ourselves

that balance is needed.

As we traverse the chasm from what was

to what is about to come

We are being shown the way through

and although the path remains cloudy

Our steps are clear

The pain we carry in our bones

is inviting us to see differently

Our hearts bleed

In a world of suffering

we are being shown

What is no longer working

Love beckons us to walk

and as we do that

our footprints will show our children

The way forward

into something beautiful
