A Little Spot of Light
Another week of horror…
of terror…
of uncertainty
and again we meet in a park at night to bemoan a tragedy.
People came together…looking for encouragement and relief.
People of different faiths,
different backgrounds
and beliefs.
As different people prayed to their God…
among the crowd there was no dissension
everybody listened…
and accepted…
everybody paid attention.
For no matter what faith was present…
no matter what God they may have named…
or if they didn’t believe in God at all…
their message was the same.
In the end everybody lit a candle…
and held it in the air
proving love is universal…
proving love is to be shared.
and then we all departed
taking different paths into the night
our darkness beginning to be driven out
by a little spot of light.
