Wake us
to your dream of us—
to the lovers, grievers, healers
you dream us to be.
To the makers of beauty,
the creators of peace.
Wake us
from the stupor
of our hatred,
divisions and greed.
Wake us
to your dream of us—
seekers of justice,
lovers of mercy,
humbly walking with you.
Wake us
from fear and frenzy,
to your dream of us—
joyful servants,
embracing neighbor and stranger,
sharers of heart and home.
Lover, Griever, Healer,
Maker of Beauty and Peace,
Self-giving, All-embracing,
Merciful One,
wake us,
remake us,
into your glorious dream.
