picking up the pieces

we are tasked to move forward
picking up the pieces
the broken shards, the torn threads
the hurting, living stones,
of the temple, of the body,
of the living house of prayer

we must reflect on the pain
the anger of the moment
the confusion of process
our failure to love
to be loving to our siblings
all of us children of God

we are to move beyond this moment
but to learn from this experience, these emotions,
this anguish that we are feeling
that somehow something precious was lost
when we were trying to do Your work
but failing to be the church
