A Balm to the Schisms – v2

may I be water
to quench the fire
not gasoline to fuel
the flames ignited
let me be open
to different opinions
let me be open to love

may I be a balm
to the schism, the
exposed wounds revealed
may my words be stitches
to bind us together
my life a witness
to God’s redeeming love.
