"Spirit / In these times of limitless grief..."
"The Heart Broken Open"
By Barbara
Ford
First Unitarian Church, Portland, OR
Spirit
In these times of limitless grief
We have but two choices
Our hearts can break
Or
They can break wide open
The broken heart can fall
Clutching and desperate
Into a deep chasm of loneliness
The heart broken open
Joins with the pain
Of a million other hearts
And knows
Finally
That it is never alone
May we choose
The communion of broken hearts
Over isolation
And with that choosing
May we act together in love
Toward the healing
