Rough winds.
Disturbing, disturbed.
Earth cries out,
Creation groans.
Seek alternatives,
Shake the status quo.
Injustice,
Austerity,
Power to the powerful;
The powerless unheard.
We live in this reality.
We need to know your hope.
Nurture us to hopefulness.
We must experience your love
in rough winds to bring
Seeds, flowers and flourishing,
fresh, fruitful fields of change.
Your people God,
We cry to you
To turn the hearts of those who would oppress.
Amen
