little prayer

The conflict in the middle east has touched many of our lives.  Whatever one’s perspective might be, poet Danez Smith’s words apply.  Let ruin end here.

little prayer

by Danez Smith

let ruin end here

let him find honey

where there was once a slaughter

let him enter the lion's cage

& find a field of lilacs

let this be the healing

& if not let it be
