A New Year’s Song



In our homeless wanderings through the wilderness of our lives
through urine puddled tattered back alleys
sleeping in hospital examination rooms and lonely cancer wards
in cities of bullet-pocked buildings
            surrounded by landmines and blind one-legged children
through the valley of the shadow of meth
and the disintegrating bodies of addicts who can’t escape

a light has dawned
a voice has been heard
the banner has been raised
and the highways made smooth

Be free, be whole, be made well!

The people walking in darkness have seen a great light
on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned
 (Isa. 9: 2)
