heaviness weighs in all around us
the weight of it making
shoulders slump
feet drag
backs bend
eyes bleak
hands limp
hope dimmed
where will our help come from?
this is not an individual battle
it is a collective one
the Divine
the entire community of creation
humanity as a whole
will we make it?
will we survive?
will we live?
will we thrive?
oohh Sovereign Lord
only you know
