A Thousand Miracles

Painting by Lorraine Rigby. 2016

It came from nowhere,

It was so unexpected and cruel... 

That someone could say such words. 

But at the heart of such cruelty, 

Lies a deep pain that we have been untouched by...

It came from nowhere, 

It was so unexpected and kind...

That someone could say such words. 

But at the heart of such kindness, 

Lies a deep love that we have been touched by...

It came from nowhere, 

It was so unexpected... 

That the universe created us, we are its expression!

At the heart of such an action 

Lies a deep need..................

                           .................. and forever we will search for that need.
