Peace to your broken heart,
and peace to mine.
Here in the holiness of flesh
that is necessarily
torn & bleeding,
peace.
I weep with you,
my dear, because it is
the only gift I have to offer.
I break with you
in longing for hope & delight,
in recognition of pain
beyond understanding,
in hope for healing
beyond reach.
Peace to our broken hearts
as we walk together,
feet bloodied & calloused
by this life.
Peace.
