Brother John,
unfurl your purple banner,
let the peace dove soar
above Grafton township
proclaiming victory
over endless oppression.
Ring the chapel bell,
light the candles
in the sanctuary,
shelter us with tea &
the word of God.
Brother John,
the forecast is gray.
I want to hear the truth.
I want to hear your voice
as the world grows dark.
Brother John,
will we ever forgive our transgressions?
Will we survive the winter intact
to bloom once more into the flower of art?
How do we find our pathway back
to our spirit?
Now is time to travel within.
Pray. Forgive.
Create peace. Walk with God.
Make magic.
