inhabit the kiss

wherever there seems to be

a sore spot

in your life

some kind

of wound

anywhere

a call for healing

today

we give a tender kiss

to it

nothing calls for fear and war

attack

against invading germs

parasites

and those lacking wisdom

everything

but calls

but for the kiss

of Christ

the kiss

of clarity

of vision

of the pure light

we are

let the kiss

shine in our minds today

the image of ourselves

as givers

lovers

bringers

of tenderness and mercy

to every place

we visit

to our home

where we live

in every moment

let us inhabit the kiss today

let the kiss

be

our world

today

what could possibly stand in the way

of a kiss?

guns/fear

but ensures all doors

are locked tight against invaders

love but melts all

locks

all doors swing freely once more

and the kiss

simply

shines
