Heads and hearts
Disconnected
Oversaturation of news
Polarized views
Bent over
Pent up
Traumas resurfacing
Survivors rising
and standing
in solidarity as
silences cease

God, we need you!
A glimpse of grace
Even a trace
Empathy
Compassion
Kindness
Love
Come out, come out, wherever you are!

Help us
to breathe
to step away
from the screen
to be kind
to ourselves
to one another
to shut the &#@+* up
and listen
to learn
to live
to love.

Reconnect our
heads and hearts.
That might just be
the place to start.
