How have I been? 
Well, I have been and in my being 
I have seen the futility of life, 
I have tirelessly groped the walls of uncertainty for a door, crack or window
Out of this season's strangling fog
I have seen the limits of science
I have seen the failure of structures we swore were sturdy
I have been stuck somewhere between today and tomorrow's semicolon  
I have been scared, scarred, scathed and scattered 
Into sacred, sober silent, submission -
This could be it
This could be it??? 
I have stumbled into searing grief
Wept in disbelief at numbers that were once names
I have been at tipping point trying to stay clear of the cliff
So sure one more news reel will send me reeling, spiralling, crashing 
I have seen lack stuff itself down throats, choking self-preservation and caution 
I have caught my mind venturing into wells of no return 
I have been burdened by anchors of concern and worry trying to drown me
Bowed my head, Pleaded for mercy so Society's sudden selah ceases 
Sunk to my knees, 
Lifted my eyes and surely began to see it
I have seen mercy now more than ever 
In God's steadfastness against our capriciousness 
If it had not been for God's firm grip on me, I would have slipped into thick nothingness 
I have seen mercy now more than ever
In His unfailing hands that bear us up
In death sentences overturned and weak bodies strengthened
I have seen mercy in life's bubble, blossom, buttercup, birthing and blooming through insanity
In God's nearness, in nature's incognizance 
In the early orange of day and late purple of dusk 
I have seen mercy now more than ever 
In our ability to adopt, adapt, adjust and adroit
I have seen mercy and found joy
In unrestrained care and affection 
In the church being all He commanded
In community coming into unity to communicate solidarity.
I have seen parent and child joined again by an umbilical cord 
Seen support transcend space, time, borders, distance and connection 
I have seen needs met, frowns reset, forgotten debt
I have seen mercy in the futility of life but I'll also tell you what I have learned,
 We are all we have 
So when I tell you to let your loud love lavishly fill every soundless void
To let it be the roaming voice of hope to every heart devoid 
To ensure every means is employed
In bringing your neighbor hope and help to be enjoyed
Like prayer in a hug, assurance for every shrug or a filled jug,
Like your light shining so darkness I may avoid 
I hope you season our world with your salt so our good flavor may not be destroyed 
I hope someone isn't allowed to quit and crash because you were their droid
I hope you, yes you,  stay ready to be deployed as loud lavish love.
I have seen the futility of life but what a gift you are to this world.
