amid this broken urban landscape
to shape your own soul
yet we find the city ourselves
transformed by the force of your life
your love your passion for the deep places
of this shallowed existence
and the echoes ring even now
down streets you walked
over dreams you laid before us
in hearts you opened to the possibility of God
we speak of mystery
of glasses darkly and whirlwinds unfathomable
of ways beyond our understanding
hoping to convince ourselves
this will all make sense someday
but this silence stuns
and we stand staring at this hole
believing God is on the other side
straining to see through the darkness
to the Light hiding in the shadows
Father, help our eyes to adjust soon
until then we’ll share stories
of your life too brief yet full
of all that makes life Life
beauty truth passion grace
and Love embodied
and shared and experienced
and missed
help us remember we are but dust
help us remember the spaces between
help us remember it’s Love that reigns
help us remember you
Æ
