As we remember them, the world wants to heal

They hover over us-the departed
Watching as we pray
Waiting for us
To find a way forward

The whole world
Is patched together
With fraying tape
Looking for answers
To the desperation

Drowning in despair
We are tied together
Broken families
Broken lives
Broken hearts

We seek new paths
For understanding the why
Yet, does that really matter anymore
The world wants healing
The world needs to heal
The world needs to find a way

May the Infinite shine
Light to the paths
For positive change

Seeing through the darkness
May we do the work
We have been tasked
To do - 
To make the world
A fair and just place
To hear, to listen, to act
To love, to love again
Again and again
This is the only path to 
Redemption for those who have
Passed, and for our future —
Not war, not hate
