(4th week of September 2020)

Pause

Been thinking about
this universal insanity
The dark and beautiful
parts of humanity

and wondering what
the world might do
without its usual
tragedy

Do the restless waves
in the deepest seas
rise to create
this naturally?

If we quell the hell
in the earth and all
Will humans still seek
a way to fall?

Hold to the hope
of hearts torn apart
Can we assuage
for a new start?

If we rise in the cause
Of a faith still unmet
will the world ever pause
to catch its breath?
