Choosing Hope

Sister Mary Enda Hughes

Choosing Hope, by Sister Mary Enda HughesChoosing Hopeut the reality of God
is love 
which is the reason for the miracles 
that we keep wanting, 
so now in the after-time 
let the small ones happen 
and not escape our knowing 
despite the shattered cities 
and the weeping seas 
that somehow we will hear 
the stars come out 
as well as see them, 
for then the lovely 
Spirit Wind that takes us 
despite the shattered cities 
and the weeping seas 
revealing sudden love 
in broken places 
will not be lost 
will not be lost in us 
in case 
there are no words 
in the silence 
of a still possible 
brand new 
world.
