THE AWKWARD DANCE OF PEACE

AWKWARD DANCE OF PEACE
Between the bloody dark
And grace’s redeeming light
Between the hate riled gloom
And the rays of forgiveness, bright
Friendships can be messy.
Between the blowing up
And the pieces fixed on landing
Between the bleak black funerals
And the bridegroom standing
Friendships can be messy.
This is an awkward dance
With partners disconcerting
The tender tentative steps
With all our wounds still hurting
Take two up and one back
Move close to hold the seams
Swirl in the suspicious space
To soar in audacious dreams.
