when the earth cracks
How do we Be
with the weeping of the world?
How do we
hold it and lay it down
to rest?
How do we rock it
and soothe it
and love it?
How do we know what to do
.
.
.
next?
How do we Be
with the weeping of the world?
How do we hold laughter,
joy
and sweet ever more?
How do we Be
with the weeping of the world?
How do we soothe
that small, crying girl?
How do we Be
with the weeping of the world?
How do we care
and
step back
all at once?
How do we Be
with the weeping of the world?
How do
you
flounder
and how am
I
dunce?
