The Best We Can Hope For

The best we can hope for

It seems

Is a stillness of moment

When the ravaging of disease ceases to capture, momentarily, all available attention

And an inner peace

Surely not of the world,

Can triumph

And the blessing of love

Can be felt

Amongst and amidst the torment.

This illness never leaves

Despite our best hopes

And yet…

And yet, we still hope and pray

Despite outward appearance

And inner destruction

That miracles will bless our lives

So that one day

We might walk free of it

And be together

In an absolute harmony

On every level

As it was before

So may it be again.

Amen
