November 24: What We Need

Just more softening
A little more space
Some blurred edges,
Filed dull and round,
Not quite so sharp.

Some quiet discourse
Or maybe a touch without any words.

Show them the hurt
If they lack the imagination –

Less victory, fewer champions
And more conversion, more of
A seasonal heart that melts
From ice into water.

Just more charity
And the simple wish
Of a tasty dinner
In secure and loving arms.
