We Are So Tired

A wooden bench sits under a large tree with autumn leaves beside a foggy, sunlit field.
 
We are so tired in our hearts.
There is too much to mourn,
Too much to regret, all
That anger that poisons everything
And then it kills.
And then it kills the killers.
Sometimes
It takes too much energy to remember
That we know how to flourish.
There is Holy Wholeness
There is True Connection
But we are so tired in our hearts.
Help us rest, all of us.
Then,
Please
Help us wake up.

Amen.
