One by one
families and friends passed away
as an invitation for me to come
to the still place
where we can find peace together
without racism, wild-fire, COVID-19, and turmoils in Afghanistan
We are all connected
to the One who gives and takes away
forms, sizes, colors, and tones of our bodies
Beyond all those diverse beauty
is the inner beauty
the image of God we all share
The image that we have destroyed for long long time
the image shattered by the waves and winds of the water
the image restored at the center of the Cross
When all the nails are nailed down
and the crown of thorns was put on
we will weep at the bottom of the Cross
For the sins we have committed
for the mistakes that we have made
for the indifference that we have displayed
as we scratch the doors to be open
waiting for us to be accepted
lonely and alone
