by anxious authorities
with pathetic fears
undressed by insanity
and unjust inhumanity
stripped of security
and inherent Dignity
(like prisoners packed
into cells like
sardines into cans)
and executed as
an apparent danger
to the powers
that be and
the status quo
the Love that
is the Light
of the World
(and will never
let Us go)
unfurled that Love
in torrential Showers
upon all Beloveds
by bending down
in gracious Humility
shedding all coverings
in genuine Vulnerability
and replacing them
with a towel
washing our feet
with the Water
of which We
are (mostly) made
and empathetic tears
soothing our soles
(and our Souls)
cleansing our fears
inviting Us All
(who can simultaneously
resemble sheep grazing
in the meadows
and hungry wolves
on the prowl)
to peek out
from the shadows
and open up
our frightened Selves
to experience and
extend this expansive
and Eternal Flow
through our Bodies
and our Beings
watering the Seeds
meeting the needs
growing the Flowers
of Beloved Community
in the Spirit
of the One
who embodied It
in Divine Humanity
by living Life
with Us All
and giving Life
for Us All
(We who know
and don't know
what We're doing)
to show Us
that there is
no splendorous height
or treacherous low
to which Love
will not go...
Thanks.
