“THIS NIGHT”

this night 
may the Creator of this sweet flower bending in the gentle breeze
bless all who are
… living in fear because of Hurricane Dorian
… experiencing hurt by their church
… terrified by predictions of climate change
… living with chronic illness
… dealing with financial uncertainty
… awaiting word from the doctor
… hungry, hungry, hungry
… on their way to the ER
… unable to sleep
… experiencing grief
… facing an unknown tomorrow
… dealing with chronic pain
… have no place to live
… living in fear of extradition

somehow sense they are loved

somehow sense some one, some where, this night
is praying, hoping, envisioning 
a better night than was last night

this night,
may there be
gentle healing
and hope
