WHEN HOPE SEEMS LOST
(Ezekiel 37:1-14)
How do we hear these
words of hope, imagining,
from a time long past?

Detached, we see war,
earthquake, famine, displacement,
death, our daily news.

Hopelessness abounds
and yet when all hope seems lost
somewhere there is hope.

The promise persists,
“I have spoken and will act”,
that we might act too.
