LIVING HOPEFULLY
(Isaiah 61:1-4, 8-11)
Can love find a way
while rulers and generals
conspire to destroy?
And why, in my town,
must some people sleep in cars
escaping abuse?
Where is the good news
for broken-hearted, captive,
or mourning, today?
Dare we imagine
people living fruitfully
garlanded in hope?
