She’s been dreaming
Of mercy
Ever since I’ve known her.
Has she found it?
Certainly it has not
Been a gift I brought her:
Change, frustration, comfort,
Struggle, more change,
Beauty, fear, change again,
Even occasional joy —
Yes.
Mercy?
I think not.
So, I think she is still looking
And the gift I long to give her
Is quite simply
The room for her to find
The mercy
That lives
Within
Herself.
