Incapacity to change.

I used to ache for you,

thought it was you

I needed to save,

now I ache for me

my own incapacity to change.


If I forget the truth of who I am

for even a moment

I would become consumed by my own rage

at the suffering of this world.


I would drown in my sorrows of yesterday.

In the grief of the pain we share.

In the violence and greed everywhere.


Only to find it arises in me

all that I say I can not bear.


I am reminded of Your words


Love dissolves all calamity.

Heaven and Hell is in this world both

the choice

is truly in My Hands.
