that I must live among the tents of Kedar." Psalm 120:5
feeling alone,
i cling tight to silence
as we wander through
the streets filled with those
shouting their anger and
denouncing those who would
listen to hope and grace.
later,
as the shadows fall
and even the stars seem
to give up trying to be light
in these tenebrous times,
we will sleep rough with
the rest of those longing
for the wonders of life
rather than being tucked away
in homes illuminated by
flickering screens on devices.
