Faith
Faith
I didn't cry
but I couldn't keep
the lubrication in my eyes,
such precious water in a dry time,
when they prayed
for the children
that the world
will protect them
and all the
other people's children
passed with their teachers
along the aisle.
It felt I was a thread
in a great soft quilt,
like the one adorning
the gathering space.
