SPIRITS OF THE HART
With focused positive energy of light and love, I honor
the eternal spirits of Hart Island and call forth every happy memory of their time.
I lift up the names of these dear souls who may have felt forgotten,
as I stand in the gap for ALL lost loved ones-- of others, and of yours and mine.
Including the homeless, the substance abusers, the foster children, and the nursing homed elderly,
we are all interconnected human beings, born to die.
But by the unmerited grace of God and His mercy,
they were, they are, they could have been you or I.
Those of us on this side of eternity repeatedly
rehearse our poor choices, actions, and consequences in our heads.
We’re devastated when loved ones leave or are forcibly taken from us,
and later suffer resurrected and magnified pain when we find out they’re dead.
No matter what circumstances we experience,
no matter what path in life we choose,
God’s LOVE is unconditional and everlasting,
the one possession that we can never lose.
Healing and comfort are available through forgiveness --
forgiveness of ourselves and of our beloved.
And forgiveness of contributors to our sorrows
will generate transcending peace and demonstrate Agape LOVE.
I give thanks for the gift of relationship that connects us
as new comers, acquaintances, bereaved relatives, artists, and friends.
For I believe that there are no random meetings
and our interactions have been divinely orchestrated.
