A Poem for Healing

I send it out.

Standing perched atop the earth, I send it out.

Light and love.

Like seismic waves traveling deep underground, I visualize them

Like dust billowing from a collapsing building,

Like a cloud of radiation, from death and destruction

Rises love.

I stand where I have my own hope for the future, but only if

light and love

can permeate a thick layer of intolerance.

I send out light and love as far as I can see,

Both with my eyes and with my mind's eye.

I send out healing, like a beacon of joy to all those in its path.

I send out hope, for those like me who wonder if it is enough.

I send it out.

Light and love.
