Windows of hope

the promise of cleansing

elements appearing untouchable

protective barricades along

the narrow pathway

suddenly refusing passage

to the loading ramp

for shipwrecked lives

praying for rescue by the Ark

empty seats

fill the theater of reflection

souls lost to despair

unable to believe in Hope

their ship sails in another direction

while those who climb the barricades

believe rescue is coming

reach out to those

losing faith in Love that awaits
