Stillpoint

The space binding darkness to light,
birthplace of visions where souls 
do not stray in exclusion but congregate 
wearing the mantle of mercy and peace.

Bitter arguments unreconciled, blessings 
never spoken, angry exchanges left wanting
of prompt resolution have no meaning here. 

All torments are quieted, rumors and lies are 
forgiven, love and respect take their hold for those 
children of God who were wandering out in the cold.
