Rise Again

A dirt path lined with trees and green grass on both sides, stretching into the distance.
Let your heart break open
on the holiest of nights.
 
Weep for the injustice,
cry out for the pain,
howl against the cruelty of the world.
 
And when it’s over,
rise again.
 
Wipe away the tears,
brush the dust from your body.
 
Then, plant your feet firmly on the earth,
anchor your soul in peace.
 
And with that newfound strength,
face the injustice once more.
