Instead of Losing Faith by Rosemerry Whatola Trommer

for K., Ubi caritas est vera, Deus ibi est.

Instead of Losing Faith

After all the hours of dressing up

and combing our hair and trying

to show our best face to the world,

we find ourselves bare, naked,

haunted, and painfully, wondrously clear,

full of visions and limitations, aware

of the great invitation to be kind. And

if we’re lucky, we burn with hope.

It isn’t safe, this life. Don’t let anyone

tell you otherwise. But if you are able,

as you listen to the screaming, sing.

Sing through the walls. Sing of miracles,

healing and light. Sing. Because when

all else is ash, still, we can sing.
