Flood tides of Love

(Written during a miners' strike)

Prudence Backhouse

How should we pray?How can we ease the bitter legacy?How yield ourselves to the concentric ringsIssuing ever from the center-source,Widening around us, through us, past us,Dissolving the mine fields of unforgiving?

Can we see that Christ treads over the mine fields?The once-pierced Jesus-feet of conquered hurt,Shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace,Annihilate the vindictiveness of hate.
