A Prayer for the Future

May an essence of rose descend upon humanity;
its delicate, warm embrace
filling the wounds of the world
with a pink, angelic hue.

May the soft fabric of our compassion
wipe away the tears of those
whose souls have been nearly destroyed,
stealing away the pain of life that’s been lost.

May the flicker of hope that we desperately contain
deep within our cracked hearts
be enough—
enough to change our shattered planet,
to glue the rigid pieces back together,
to turn on the dusty lights we have forgotten.

May we shine infinitely, 
throughout the darkest of storms
as we do our very best to remember this:
love is the answer.

It always has been.
