The circumstances we find
Ourselves in
This spring
Compell a pause
Of unknown duration
Time with which
We can contemplate
Our increasingly colored dreams
Time with whom
We can really get to know
Time with how
Will we learn to live anew
Time to discover
A new connection to grace
Because that is what we have
To get through with
Grace to guide us home
Grace to be our home
And when it’s done
Will we say we got through
Or perhaps
Will we say we found
Something in our life
That is new
And we carry it on
Through the light and the dark
As a new totem to us
A new grace for our heart
