1John 1:5-2:2; Psalm 124:2-8; Matthew 2:13-18
a voice
rising
a woman
weeping
for her children
caught
in the violence
of another’s heart
she suffers
for us all
despairing
in destruction
we wait
for light
for rescue
for love and peace
to find
its home
in the world
Do you hear the cry of the woman weeping?
How does God’s love and light respond?
