depthless

"But those who seek to destroy my life
   shall go down into the depths of the earth;" Psalm 63:9

when the angry voices
try to fuel my own, 
may i whisper hope.
when the carvers of grudges
want to sculpt my image,
may i choose forgiveness.
when the purveyors of prejudice
offer me reduced prices on their stock,
may i invest in justice.
when hate seeks to plant itself
deep into my soul,
may i become a field for your
seeds of love you sprinkle
over me every day.
