help came forth.
the Presence sent agents of hope.
they skirmished with desolation
in high and hidden places.
they engaged destruction in every desolate valley,
every hallway of every hospital
every dank corner of every dark street
every bedroom of violation
every emergency room
every street of combat
every village of disease
and protection arose.
healing spread
help arrived
power burst forth.
the emissaries set up camp and kept vigil
envoys flew to danger zones.
rescuers emerged
pain was eased
comfort came
fears were soothed
ill intent stopped cold
paralysis loosed
mobility restored
children born healthy and able
the young were shown their dignity
given guidance
the spirit of the depressed lifted
the elderly were assigned honor and respect
the Presence felt in every pore of the planet
as help arose
to listen
to encourage
to heal
to reinforce.
mercy encircled the planet
a balm blanketing the earth
sobs were calmed
invisible embraces everywhere
food into empty stomachs
wounds bound up with care
touches gentle and inoffensive
empathy, sympathy poured like soothing rain
into feverish souls
the new Jerusalem swung open its doors
and souls poured in
heaven enriched,
earth soaked in joy
peace a river, mighty, smooth, flowing comfort
one prayer
one prayer
and all this happened
one undecided soul
stopped doubting
and offered up
a small shaky seed of trust
let it be so
let it be so
let it be..
