23. Salvation

 #66Challenge

Written December 10, 2021

Inspired by Lynn Ungar's poem "Salvation."

 

Do you believe me when I say

you are neither salvaged nor saved,

but salved, anointed by gentle hands

where you are most tender?

I actually was salved
yesterday
when I realized the obstacle
was the path.
 
When I really "got" that
what was happening
was the answer
 
When I witnessed another adult
say what I've been saying
and getting no result.
 
We are in whole new
territory here.
 
If we don't listen, we'll remain lost.
