Singing
in the face
of evil,
chaos, and uncertainty
is what
defines faith.
Not just
singing
any old
tune or lyrics;
but
belting out melodies
that
hauntingly dare us
to step
toward the darkness,
and
lyrics which proclaim,
in spite
of the appearance
of current
circumstances,
that
fear, anxiety, hatred, scarcity
are not
gaining momentum.
They are,
instead, screaming vestiges
of evil
who already know
that love
has won.
Sing on,
sisters and brothers;
the world
is dying to claim
the
courage of this opus,
where new
is not replacement
but
resurrection to something
we’ve yet
the wherewithal to imagine.
