Love Abides by Barbara Pescan

August 29, 2010 by Jenny Klein

Often we are found in our grief and comforted

Calmed by some kindness
Brought alive again by beauty
That catches us undefended.

Even when the sun is most thin and far
Even at the hour the storm is at its height
We can go through

Renewal rests within sorrow
Love abides, even beyond anger, beyond death.

We are held in an embrace invisible but infinite
Moving with all creation
Between wholeness and fragmentation
Moving always toward the one.
