Damaged people, here —
stripped by life, by fear.
Hurting people gathered,
a tumultuous, broken herd.
Dangerous folk assembled,
no spark of hope to kindle,
despairing, maimed,

at wits’ end, insane.

Beloved people here,

relieved of guilt and fear.

Healing people gathered,

a tumultuous, joyful herd.

Dangerous folk assembled,

for love found hope to kindle,

despair is slain,

hope and life reclaimed.
